Summary
The Johor State Fatwa Committee ruled that demolishing and rebuilding Masjid Baitul Ridzuan is permissible according to Islamic law. Surau At Taqwa, Parit Markom is permitted as a temporary venue for Friday prayer until declared otherwise, and the district kadi must make announcements on the last Friday at the old mosque and the first Friday at the surau. The old mosque fixtures are to be kept for the new mosque, or offered to nearby mosques, suraus or Islamic institutions if not needed. If no one needs them or they risk damage or loss, they may be sold and the proceeds used to buy permanent items for the new mosque to preserve the waqf purpose.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
