Summary
The Johor Fatwa Committee treats the matter as a trust (amanah). The person who removed the stones must return them for the mosque's use if they still exist and are usable, or otherwise assess their value so that replacement stones can be bought. Failing this is regarded as a breach of trust and a major sin, which falls only on the person who did it and does not involve others.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Perkara ini adalah perkara amanah, bermakna orang yang melakukan pemindahan batu-batu tersebut bertanggungjawab memulangkan balik untuk kegunaan masjid, sekiranya masih ada dan boleh digunakan, jika tidak hendaklah dinilai dengan harga bagi dibelikan batu-batu yang lain.
