Summary
The Johor fatwa permits the use of the completed new Taman Megah Surau building. Permission for Friday prayers at the old surau is withdrawn and the old building may be demolished. The District Kadi must make announcements on the last Friday at the old surau and the first Friday at the new building. Fittings from the old building are to be kept for the new one or gifted to nearby mosques, suraus or related institutions, and may be sold only if no one needs them or they risk damage, with the proceeds used to buy lasting items for the new surau.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
