Summary
The Johor State Fatwa Committee permitted Surau An Nur to be upgraded from a Friday surau to a mosque until a contrary declaration is made. The old fittings of the demolished surau should be given to a nearby mosque or surau, or failing that, to a madrasah, balai surau, student hostel or Islamic welfare centre. If nobody needs them, or storing them would damage them or no storage is available, they may be sold and the proceeds used to buy lasting items such as a pulpit, cupboards, carpets and fans for the new building.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Surau An Nur, Taman Stulang Laut, Johor Bahru diberi kebenaran menaik taraf Surau Jumaat kepada masjid sehingga satu pengisytiharaan sebaliknya dilakukan.
