Summary
The Johor Fatwa Committee ruled that building a village clinic, nurses' quarters and an open hall on the Lot 2262 mosque site is permissible under Islamic law through shariah-compliant istibdal (exchange of waqf property). The applicant must provide replacement land of equal or greater value and size, suitable as a mosque site, and hand it over to the Johor Islamic Religious Council. If istibdal cannot be carried out for valid shariah reasons, the applicant pays compensation at the current price set by the Johor State valuation office, and the money is held in the amwal badal trust fund to buy replacement land. The istibdal must be conducted through sighah and hujah (the formal wording and the supporting argument) between the applicant and the Council.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
