Summary
Old items from the mosque hall must first be announced to mosques, suraus, madrasahs, student hostels or Islamic welfare centres. If none need them, or the items would deteriorate, risk being lost or cannot be stored, they may be sold. The proceeds are used to buy durable items such as a minbar, cabinets, carpets and fans, so that the purpose of the endowment is maintained. Any disposal of the mosque's minbar must first be submitted to the Sultan of Johor for consent.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
