According to the decision of the 140th Perak State Fatwa Committee meeting on 27 August 1997, old mosque equipment that is still in good condition must first be offered to other mosques in need.

Summary
According to the decision of the 140th Perak State Fatwa Committee meeting on 27 August 1997, old mosque equipment that is still in good condition must first be offered to other mosques in need. A mosque that needs it may therefore receive it. If no other mosque needs it, the equipment is sold and the proceeds go to the mosque development fund or to the mosque's benefit.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Peralatan masjid yang lama dan tidak digunakan lagi oleh masjid tetapi masih dalam keadaan baik, hendaklah ditawarkan terlebih dahulu kepada masjid-masjid lain yang memerlukan.
