Summary
The available answer text does not directly state a ruling on using cemetery land funds for mosque activities and maintenance. It only addresses the handling of old items: usable items should be used, and if not needed they should first be offered to mosques or suraus in need. If they are then sold, the proceeds go into the mosque development fund.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Barang-barang lama yang boleh digunakan hendaklah digunakan dan sekiranya tidak diperlukan hendaklah ditawarkan kepada masjid-masjid atau surau-surau yang memerlukan sebelum dijual dan hasil jualan dimasukkan ke tabung pembangunan masjid.
