Summary
The Johor State Fatwa Committee decided that the surau is permitted to be demolished. Its old fittings should be kept for use in the new surau, and if not needed, offered to nearby mosques or suraus, then to a madrasah, balai surau, student hostel or Islamic welfare centre. If no one needs them, and keeping them would damage the items, risk their 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 so as to preserve the purpose of the waqf.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
