Summary
The Penang State Fatwa Committee did not approve the application to exchange Lot 694, a waqf land for an Islamic cemetery, with Lot 1549 for development by Koperasi Kariah Masjid Ar-Rahman Bakar Kapor. The reason given was that the proposal contradicted the original purpose of the istibdal. The meeting also noted that the replacement land is smaller and farther from the main road.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
