Summary

The Penang State Fatwa Committee, at its meeting No. 2/2015 on 29 and 30 April 2015, decided to defer this istibdal application. The proposal involves the 1.283-acre cemetery land at Lot 20112 owned by MAINPP and part of Lot 10276, measuring 3.516 acres, owned by USM. The deferral was made to obtain a valuation and an assessment of the usability of the land, so no ruling on the exchange itself was issued.

Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
