Summary
For Lot 737-745 Bukit Mertajam, if the trust deed names heirs or trustees, the trust is followed. If the trustees wish to build a surau, its construction takes priority with sufficient land allocated, and the remaining land may be developed by MAIPP. For Lots 1396 & 1397, if the trustees are extinct or the last heir did not appoint new trustees, the land becomes general waqf land and may be developed by MAIPP.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
TANAH BAGI LOT 1396 & 1397 JIKA DIDAPATI PEMEGANG AMANAHNYA SUDAH PUPUS ATAUPUN WARIS TERAKHIRNYA TIDAK MELANTIK PEMEGANG AMANAH BARU MAKA TANAH ITU MENJADI TANAH WAKAF AM DAN BOLEHLAH TANAH ITU DIMAJUKAN OLEH MAIPP
