Summary
The Muzakarah resolved that the Felda practice on inheriting property under the Land Act 1960 is not contrary to Islamic law, because naming a single person is done with the agreement of all parties involved. If the heirs do not agree on appointing a representative, the deceased's property is to be sold with priority given to the heirs, the proceeds divided according to faraid, and any undistributed remainder handed to the Baitulmal. The Felda practice on harta sepencarian was likewise held not to contravene Islamic law.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
