Summary
Masjid Ar Raudah is permitted to close for renovation work. Resident congregants who pray at the mosque are to perform Friday prayers temporarily at Surau Perumahan Tersusun, Mawai Baru, until a contrary declaration is made. The district kadi must make a declaration on the last Friday at the mosque and on the first Friday at the surau, and the congregation must be informed. The mosque's old furnishings are to be kept for later use, offered to madrasahs, suraus, student hostels or Islamic welfare centres if not needed, and sold only if no one needs them or they risk damage or loss, with the proceeds used to buy permanent items for the mosque.
