Summary
The Penang Syariah Committee set out several conditions for an applicant to buy back estate property that has become Baitulmal property. The buyer must be a true heir of the deceased, and the intention must clearly be for the use or benefit of the deceased's closest heirs only. The land must also be small and unable to be developed or used by the Islamic Religious Council, not strategic in the Council's view, and its sale must not cause the Council a loss.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
PEMBELI ITU HENDAKLAH DARI WARIS HAKIKI KEPADA SI MATI.
