Summary
The Penang State Fatwa Committee ruled that MAINPP is the valid trustee according to Islamic law, based on Section 89 of the Islamic Religious Administration Enactment (State of Penang) 2004. Management of the waqf property is to be handed to MAINPP as the administering authority responsible for safeguarding its welfare, based on the maxim that a ruler's actions toward the people depend on public interest. Yayasan Rawana may administer the land only with MAINPP's permission.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Yayasan Rawana hanya boleh mentadbir tanah tersebut atas kebenaran MAINPP.
