Summary
The Johor State Fatwa Committee ruled that the religious school building on MLO 4939 may be demolished according to Islamic law in order to build a new religious school. The old fittings should be kept for the new building, or if not needed, offered to nearby mosques, surau or Islamic institutions such as madrasah, student hostels or Islamic welfare centres. If nobody needs them and keeping them would damage the items, risk their loss or there is no storage, they may be sold and the proceeds used to buy lasting items such as chairs, tables, cupboards and fans for the new building.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
