Summary
The mosque is a waqf endowed by the late Sultan Alaeddin Sulaiman Shah and is administered by the Selangor Islamic Religious Council as Waqf Property Administrator. Waqf property belongs absolutely to Allah and cannot be subject to any transaction, so the Antiquities Act does not apply. The mosque committee is responsible for keeping the original structure or renovating it for the comfort of worshippers, so that the mosque is used as the endower intended.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Sesuatu harta yang diwakafkan itu telah menjadi milik Allah S.W.T. secra mutlak, maka ia tidak boleh dilakukan kepadanya sebarang transaksi.
