Summary
Kampung Baru Mosque in Mukim Sri Gading, Batu Pahat is permitted to close temporarily so that its roof can be repaired. The old fittings should be kept for the mosque's use, and if not needed they should be offered to nearby mosques or suraus, then to madrasahs, prayer halls, Islamic student hostels or Islamic welfare centres. If no one needs them, or keeping them would damage them, they may be lost, or there is no storage, the items may be sold and the proceeds used to buy lasting items such as fans, cupboards and a pulpit, preserving the purpose of the endowment.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
