Summary
The Penang State Fatwa Committee approved the renovation of Surau Tanjung Bunga on condition that waqf items are disposed of according to the state's method. Usable building materials are handed over to any mosque or surau in need. If there is none, the materials are sold to anyone who is of age and sound mind regardless of religion, with the proceeds used for developing mosques or suraus. Materials that can no longer be used may be buried or left on the site and must not be burned.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
