Can a temporary Friday prayer be held at Surau Al-Mutaqin, Paya Terubong, and how should old building materials be disposed of when the roof is replaced?
Short answer
The Penang State Fatwa Committee approved the application to hold a temporary Friday prayer at this surau, on condition that the staircase at the rear is modified because it does not meet Syara' requirements.

Summary
The Penang State Fatwa Committee approved the application to hold a temporary Friday prayer at this surau, on condition that the staircase at the rear is modified because it does not meet Syara' requirements. Replacing the entire roof was also approved on grounds of need. Waqf materials must be disposed of by the state method: given to a mosque or surau in need, otherwise sold to any adult of sound mind regardless of religion with proceeds used for mosque or surau development, and if unusable they may be buried or left to decay on the premises but not burned.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
