Answer
In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful
Assalaamu `alaykum waRahmatullahi Wabarakatoh
Whatever belongs to the musjid is waqf. In principle, a waqf item cannot be borrowed. The Fuqaha have ruled that the items of one masjid cannot be transferred to another masjid. The Fuqaha ruled that the mimbar should not be taken out of the masjid even to the Eidgah (Musallah) for Eidul fitr and Eidul Adha.
And Allah knows best
