Summary
The Johor fatwa permits the demolition of the old surau building. The old fittings should be kept for use in the new surau, and if not needed, offered to a nearby mosque or surau, then to a madrasah, balai surau, student hostel or Islamic welfare centre. If no one needs them and keeping them would damage them, risk their loss or there is no storage, they may be sold and the proceeds used to buy lasting items such as a minbar, cupboards, carpets and fans for the same surau.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
