Summary
The Johor State Fatwa Committee permitted Masjid Nur Ain in Kampung Paya Kepung, Tangkak to be renovated, with resident congregants holding Friday prayers temporarily at Surau Kampung Pengkalan Besar until a further announcement is made. The congregation must be informed, and the District Kadi must make announcements on the last Friday at the mosque and on the first Friday at the surau. Unneeded old fittings are first offered to nearby mosques, suraus or Islamic institutions. If no one needs them and storing them risks damage or loss, they may be sold and the proceeds used to buy lasting items for the mosque, preserving the purpose of the endowment.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Masjid Nur Ain, Kampung Paya Kepung, Tangkak, Johor diberi kebenaran untuk dibaik pulih.
