Summary
The Penang State Fatwa Committee did not agree to the proposal to exchange the waqf of the Surau Al-Salikin minaret for the minaret of Masjid Al-Imam Al-Syafie. Instead, the decision refers to changing the waqif's conditions on the basis of a more beneficial maslahah, namely handing the minaret waqf funds to the construction of a structure for a nearby mosque or surau. This view is based on the opinion of some Hanbali scholars.
