Summary
The Selangor Syariah Legal Consultative Committee approved this waqf land istibdal application, on the basis of exchanging the land for something better than the existing land. Approval rests on the proposal that new land of equal or greater value be purchased, with development proceeds covering part of the developer-financed costs. The original waqf land is to be developed through a viable, saleable project whose cost exceeds the current land price, while the mosque portion is retained as a waqf asset.
