Summary
The Penang State Fatwa Committee decided that the waqf contract for the residential premises remains valid as waqf, so the request to cancel it was not approved. However, the Penang Islamic Religious Council (MAINPP) was asked to conduct an investigation if there is reasonable doubt that would negate the waqf.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
