Summary
The Penang State Fatwa Committee decided that the Southwest District Religious Administration Officer should obtain confirmation and proof that the names submitted by the madrasah were the true owners of the land before it was sold to the madrasah. The signatures and thumbprints submitted must also be verified as valid under Islamic law and statutory law. It was suggested that verification be obtained at the Syariah Court through the lawyer who handled the land sale.
