Summary
Old fittings and materials from a mosque demolished for reconstruction must first be reviewed for future mosque use or for building a new mosque. If they are not needed, the availability of the materials should be announced to other bodies such as a madrasah, mosque hall, surau hall, student hostel or Islamic welfare centre. The Johor Fatwa Committee made this decision on 21 March 2018, and it has not been gazetted.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Bahawa perkakasan lama masjid yang dirobohkan untuk pembinaan semula hendaklah disemak untuk kegunaan masjid pada masa akan datang atau digunakan untuk pembinaan masjid baru yang akan dibina.
