Summary
The Johor State Fatwa Committee decided that the tahiyyat al-masjid sunnah prayer and iktikaf are valid in a mosque or surau. The condition is that the place is endowed (waqf) solely for performing prayers and Islamic observances. It remains valid even if Friday prayers are not held there.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
