Summary
The Penang State Fatwa Committee ruled that the endower's condition in the trust deed dated 3 September 1964 means a waqf for burial purposes only. Applications for the purpose of building houses, and for the five existing houses and a shop, are not permitted because they contradict the endower's intention and the law. The Penang Islamic Religious Council (MAINPP) is to make a reasonable agreement concerning the five existing houses and the shop according to current rates and value.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Permohonan bagi tujuan pembinaan rumah dan lima (5) buah rumah serta sebuah kedai sedia ada adalah tidak diharuskan kerana ia menyalahi hasrat pewakaf dan menyalahi undang-undang.
