Summary
The Penang State Fatwa Committee did not agree to the application to cancel the statutory vesting under Section 416C of the National Land Code 1965 over the zurri waqf property at Lot 6799, Mukim 13, Northeast District. Returning the property to the endower is ruled not permissible. The reason given is that property that has been endowed no longer belongs to the endower and becomes the right of Allah.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Hal ini disebabkan harta yang diwakafkan itu, bukan lagi menjadi harta pewakaf, sebaliknya ia menjadi hak Allah SWT.
