Summary
Building a futsal court on general waqf land is permissible. General waqf land is meant for the general purposes of Muslims, such as facilities or economic development through activities based on Islamic law. This differs from specific waqf land, which the endower has designated for particular benefits such as mosques, surau, religious schools and Muslim cemeteries.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
