Summary
The Johor State Fatwa Committee agreed that the musolla may be demolished, based on safety considerations and concern that it could be misused by irresponsible parties. The old fittings should be kept for future mosque use or a new mosque, and if not needed, offered to a madrasah, student hostel or Islamic welfare centre. If nobody needs them, or they would deteriorate, be lost or lack storage, they may be sold and the proceeds used to buy lasting items for mosque use.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
