Summary
The Penang State Fatwa meeting unanimously decided that the fittings of a demolished old mosque must not be sold at all. They are to be reused for any mosque that needs them. If no mosque needs them, they may be used in structures or buildings that benefit the replacement mosque.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
perkakas-perkakas masjid lama yang diroboh tidak boleh dijual sama sekali dan hendaklah digunakan semula kepada mana-mana masjid yang memerlukan.
