Summary
The Johor State Fatwa Committee ruled that there is no objection to buying a computer and a photocopying machine with money from a general welfare waqf fund, such as rental income from the waqf house on Jalan Yahya Awal, Johor Bahru. The purchase is regarded as one of the general welfare purposes. It therefore also fulfils the sole condition of the waqf.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
