Summary
Demolishing Masjid Al Ikram Taman Sri Kluang for the purpose of rebuilding is permitted, provided certain rules are followed. The mosque's fittings must be kept for the new mosque, and if not needed, offered to nearby mosques or suraus, then to madrasahs, balai suraus, student hostels or Islamic welfare centres. If no one needs them and storage would damage them, risk their loss or no storage place exists, they may be sold and the proceeds used to buy lasting items such as a pulpit, cupboards, carpets and fans for the same mosque.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
