Summary
The Johor State Fatwa Committee decided that the agreement between the Batu Pahat District Religious Office and the operator is not to be extended, and the lease must be ended immediately. Land used for nursery planting, or taken together with plants to be sold or moved elsewhere, must be compensated at a fitting rate, either with land or its monetary value, which is paid into the Council's waqf amwal badal fund. All rental proceeds are returned to the Council's waqf administration fund after service expenses are deducted.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Perjanjian diantara Pejabat Agama Daerah Batu Pahat dengan pengusaha tidak disambung dan penyewaan tanah hendaklah di tamatkan dengan serta-merta.
