Summary
The original lessee is permitted to take profit from the proceeds of the lease of the waqf land. However, the Penang Islamic Religious Council may impose specific conditions and policies on the lessee regarding the amount of profit mutually agreed upon. The ruling relies on the hadith that Muslims are bound by the conditions they make, so long as those conditions do not forbid what is lawful or permit what is forbidden.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
