Summary
The fatwa rules that the soil removed should first be used to level the waqf land itself. If there is no need or there are difficulties, it is to be offered to other waqf lands, especially in Batu Pahat District, and then to mosques and surau that need it. If none require it and leaving it unmoved would cause harm or problems, it may be sold and the money channelled into the Amwal Badal fund (account). The costs of the works on the waqf land are to be taken from the sale proceeds.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Tanah-tanah tersebut hendaklah digunakan untuk meratakan tanah wakaf tersebut.
