Summary
The Johor State Fatwa Committee permitted the demolition of the Pekan Sri Medan Mosque in order to rebuild a new surau building. The old fittings must be kept for the new surau, or if not needed, offered to nearby mosques or suraus, then to madrasahs, student hostels or Islamic welfare centres. If no one needs them, or storing them would damage them, risk their loss or no storage is available, they may be sold and the proceeds used to buy lasting items such as a pulpit, cupboards, carpets and fans for the new surau.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
