Summary
The Johor State Fatwa Committee ruled that there is no objection to using the equipment of the old mosque building for the surau as required. Mosque fittings that cannot be stored should be used for a nearer mosque if there is one. If there is none, they may be used for a ribat (hostel) or a balai.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Oleh itu tiada halangan dan boleh menggunakan peralatan bangunan masjid lama sebagaimana yang dikehendaki.
