Summary
The Penang State Fatwa Committee decided that waqf proceeds are used to pay and provide clothing for the poor and needy around the waqf land, at the discretion of the mutawalli or MAINPP, with reference to the Zakat Guidelines for the rates of the poor and needy. Payment is also allocated for Quran classes for nearby residents. Heirs with wirasah rights serve as the guide for those eligible to live on the land without rent, while those outside the family pay the current rental rate. If the land is to be sold, Sheikh Eusoff's family members must be given priority.
