Summary
It is permissible for a non-Muslim contractor to carry out renovation work on a surau, provided the work is supervised by the Muslim management of the company. It is better to give Muslims priority for such work. Engaging non-Muslims is acceptable when truly necessary because of their expertise and skills, and so that the work can be completed within the set period.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
