Summary
The Johor State Fatwa Committee ruled that exchanging the religious school site at Lot 21209 HS (D) 57429, Taman Murni, Batu Pahat for another site of equal or better value is permissible under Islamic law. The exchange is to be done by paying compensation at current market value of RM1,250,000, entrusted to the Johor Islamic Religious Council in the Amanah Amwalul Badal fund to buy a replacement site in the same mukim, or anywhere in Johor if the mukim has no need. The exchange must be carried out through a formal offer and acceptance (sighah) and proof (hujjah) between the applicant and the Council.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
