Summary
The Johor State Fatwa Committee permitted the upgrading of Surau Jaamat. During the works, worshippers are to perform the five daily prayers at the neighbouring Islamic hall until the surau can be used again. Old equipment should be kept for future use, or if not needed, given to a nearby mosque, surau, madrasah, student hostel or Islamic welfare centre. If no one needs it and it would be damaged or lost, it may be sold and the proceeds used to buy durable items for the new building, preserving the purpose of the endowment.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
