Summary
The Kampung Rantau Panjang mosque may be demolished to make way for a new one, and resident congregants are to perform Friday prayers temporarily at the Balai Raya. The old fittings should be kept for the new mosque, or if not needed, offered to nearby mosques or suraus, then to madrasahs, balai surau, student hostels or Islamic welfare halls. If no one needs them and keeping them would cause damage, loss or there is no storage, they may be sold and the proceeds used to buy permanent items such as a pulpit, cupboards, carpets and fans for the new mosque, preserving the purpose of the endowment.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
