Summary
The Penang State Fatwa Committee deferred its decision on the proposal to buy the lot using istibdal compensation money totalling RM1,541,485.97. The Waqf Division of the Penang Islamic Religious Council must first review the funds, as part of them may come from specific waqf that must be carried out according to the wishes of the endower. The council is advised to use only the money confirmed to be eligible to buy the land, so that it is not purchased by another party.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
