Summary
The Johor State Fatwa Committee decided that the old Kampung Melayu Batu 10 mosque building in Skudai may be used as classrooms for pupils of Sekolah Agama An-Nur Skudai. The ruling applies because the building had been vacated after the congregation moved to a new mosque. The decision falls under the waqf category and was not gazetted.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
