Summary
The Penang State Fatwa Committee held that the land is regarded as a grant (hibah) from the State Government to the Penang Islamic Religious Council (MAINPP), and that MAINPP is the endower who dedicates it as waqf. MAINPP may therefore determine the waqf wording (sighah) and the endower's conditions (syurutul wakif) for both lots. The land is general waqf (wakaf am), and MAINPP has the right to determine the beneficiaries (mauquf alaih).
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Tanah atau lot berkenaan adalah wakaf am dan pihak MAINPP berhak menentukan pihak penerima manfaat wakaf atau mauquf alaih.
