Summary
If the waqf building materials are still usable, they should be reused at the same mosque or given to another mosque or surau in need. If no mosque or surau needs them, they are to be sold to any buyer who is of age and sound mind, and the proceeds used for that mosque when required. If the materials can no longer be used, they may be buried or left on the site or on other waqf land, and must not be burned but left to decay naturally.
