Summary
This Selangor fatwa rules that it is permissible for Baitulmal to use its own funds to redeem surplus faraid land offered to it. Baitulmal holds the right of syuf'ah over heirs' land located on a parcel that also contains Baitulmal's share, and may prevent an heir from selling their portion to a non-Muslim. Baitulmal also decides whether to hand over its share free of charge or otherwise to heirs who are among the poor and needy.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
HARUS bagi Baitulmal menggunakan wang sendiri untuk menebus semula tanah lebihan faraid yang ditawarkan kepada Baitulmal.
