TABUNG KHAS WAKAF
Did the Johor State Fatwa Committee ever issue a fatwa on the Special Waqf Fund as reported in the newspaper?
Short answer
The Johor State Fatwa Committee stated that the fatwa claimed in the newspaper statement of 22 August 1991 does not exist, was never requested and was never discussed.
A reference, not a fatwa. First sentence of the summary below — read the original fatwa and consult your state authority before acting.

No evidence of gazettement in the source — this is not a gazetted fatwa.
Summary
The Johor State Fatwa Committee stated that the fatwa claimed in the newspaper statement of 22 August 1991 does not exist, was never requested and was never discussed. The Fatwa Committee asked the Chairman of the Johor Islamic Religious Council to withdraw and deny the statement promptly. The aim was to avoid any conflict with the position of the Johor State Fatwa Committee.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Dalam hal ini Lujnah Fatwa berdukacita kerana fatwa yang dikatakan itu tidak ada, tidak pernah diminta dan tidak pernah dibahaskan apatah lagi diisytiharkan.
