Summary
The Penang Syariah Committee ruled that the waqf land of Masjid Kapitan Keling Bersendirian is a general waqf (Wakaf Am). The reasons given are that its purpose of use was not specified and the condition attached to its proceeds conflicts with the requirements of Syarak. Therefore, the land is permissible to develop.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Oleh itu, tanah wakaf Masjid Kapitan Keling Bersendirian adalah Wakaf Am dan harus dibuat pembangunan.
