Summary
The Johor State Fatwa Committee permitted the surau to be demolished in order to build a new surau building. The old fittings should be kept for the new surau, or if not needed, offered to a nearby mosque or surau, then to a madrasah, student hostel or Islamic welfare centre. If they have been offered but no one needs them, they may be sold where storing them would damage them, or they are feared to be lost, or there is no place to store them. The proceeds are used to buy permanent items such as a pulpit, cupboards, carpets and fans for the new surau, to preserve the purpose of the endowment.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
