Summary
Running a business on government-owned land is not permissible unless written permission is obtained from the government. However, the income earned from such a business is halal because trading itself is permissible. This decision was made by the Johor State Fatwa Committee on 16 January 2019 and has not been gazetted.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
