Summary
The Penang State Fatwa Committee decided that this part of the mosque site cannot be claimed as waqf land. The reason is that the parish has no complete and strong evidence to support a claim that the site lies on waqf land. The committee recommended that MAINPP purchase the whole of Lot 1558 to resolve the issue.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
