Summary
The Johor fatwa rules that istibdal of the old dome and roof tiles of Tunku Laksamana Abdul Jalil Mosque in Yong Peng, Batu Pahat into money is permissible. The old items must first be offered to nearby mosques or suraus, and failing that, to a madrasah, balai surau, student hostel or Islamic welfare centre. If nobody needs them, or keeping them would damage them, risk their loss or there is no storage space, they may be sold and the proceeds used to buy lasting items such as a minbar, cupboards, carpets and fans for the same mosque.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
