Summary
The Penang State Fatwa Committee decided that exchanging the land (istibdal) for the part of the Malaysian Fisheries Department quarters occupying MAINPP waqf land in Penang is permissible. MAINPP must ensure that the replacement land received is equal to or larger than the land taken. The committee also expressed regret over the encroachment on the waqf land and urged all parties to be more careful when waqf land is involved.
