Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Oleh sebab tapak surau lama itu tidak diperlukan lagi dengan wujudnya tapak surau baru yang berhampiran, maka tiada halangan tanah ini diistibdal syarie menurut saluran-salurannya tertentu, samada dengan jualan atau belian atau tukaran.
