Summary
Lot 2168 must be managed according to the founder's wishes in the trust deed dated 31 July 1924, meaning it is developed to generate income for an annual feast, supply and payment of mosque lighting, and mosque repairs. The deed is worded generally, so the Penang Islamic Religious Council may carry out the founder's wishes through any party it considers suitable. The land is permitted as a temporary car park while efforts continue to generate income. Residents of the Masjid Bakar Kapor parish also have the right to be buried at the Lot 694 waqf cemetery.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
