Summary
The Johor State Fatwa Committee ruled that the surau is permitted to be renovated. Items from the parts to be demolished must first be announced to nearby mosques or suraus, and if there are none, to madrasahs, prayer halls, student hostels or Islamic welfare centres. If no one needs them, and the items would deteriorate, risk being lost or cannot be stored, they may be sold. The proceeds must be used to buy durable items such as a minbar, cupboards, carpets and fans for the new surau building, in order to preserve the purpose of the waqf.
