Summary
The Johor State Fatwa Committee permitted the demolition of Surau Al Tamsir to make way for a new surau building. The old fittings must be kept for use in the new surau, and if not needed they are to be offered to nearby mosques or suraus, then to madrasahs, student hostels or Islamic welfare centres. If nobody 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, preserving the purpose of the waqf.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Surau Al Tamsir Kampung Simpang Enam Rengit, Batu Pahat diberi kebenaran untuk dirobohkan bagi memberi laluan kepada pembinaan bangunan surau yang baru.
