Summary
The Penang State Fatwa Committee ruled that repairing the roof and roof frame of Masjid Pondok Upeh, Balik Pulau is permissible. Old materials that are still usable should be reused in the same mosque or given to another mosque in need. If no mosque needs them, they are sold to any person who is of age and sound mind, and the proceeds are used for that mosque when required. Materials that can no longer be used may be buried or left on the site or on other waqf land, must not be burned, and are left to decay naturally.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
