Summary
The Johor State Fatwa Committee permitted the demolition of the old mosque building in Mukim Air Baloi, Pontian, to build an additional block for Sekolah Agama Lebai Mohd Yaakob. Its building materials and equipment must go to a nearby mosque or surau, and if none, be offered to a madrasah, prayer hall, student hostel or Islamic welfare centre. If nobody needs them and storage would damage the items, risk their loss or no storage is available, they may be sold, with the proceeds used to buy lasting items such as a pulpit, cupboards, carpets and fans for the new mosque.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
