Summary
The Johor State Fatwa Committee permitted the Surau Kampung Tampok Darat Benut, Pontian to be demolished so that a new surau building can be constructed. The old fittings should be kept for the new surau, and if not needed, offered to nearby mosques or suraus, then to madrasahs, balai surau, student hostels or Islamic welfare centres. If no one needs them and keeping them would damage them, risk loss or there is no storage place, they may be sold and the proceeds used to buy lasting items such as a pulpit, cupboards, carpets and fans for the new building, preserving the purpose of the endowment.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
