Summary
The Selangor Fatwa Committee decided that istibdal may be applied to this waqf land, replacing the original land with other land of equal or higher value. A real valuation must be done by a government or private valuer to determine the current market price of both the original and the proposed replacement land. The donor's intention to build a mosque must be carried out on the new site. The earlier fatwa of 13 September 2000 was revoked because fuller background details of the case were presented.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
