Summary
The old furnishings should first be gifted to mosques, surau, madrasah, mosque or surau halls, hostels or Islamic welfare centres. If they have been offered and no one needs them, and keeping them would damage them, risk their loss or there is no storage space, they may be sold. The proceeds must be used to buy lasting items such as a pulpit, cabinets, carpets and fans so that the purpose of the endowment is preserved. Disposal of the mosque's pulpit requires prior submission to the Sultan of Johor for his consent.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
