Summary
The Sarawak State Fatwa Board unanimously decided that cash waqf, temporary waqf, share waqf and financial asset waqf are permissible. Waqf is regarded as a branch of worship aimed at drawing closer to Allah by spending wealth in His cause. An open approach to fiqh views is allowed provided the relevant dhawabit and rulings are observed, so that waqf can be developed for community benefit.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Oleh yang demikian, mesyuarat sebulat suara memutuskan bahawa wakaf tunai, wakaf bertempoh, wakaf saham dan aset kewangan adalah diharuskan.
