The Johor Fatwa Committee ruled that the project may proceed through shariah-compliant istibdal (land exchange).

If istibdal cannot be carried out for shariah reasons, SAJ must pay compensation at the current price set by the State Valuation Office, held in the Amwal Badal trust fund. Use of the land is limited to an area of 510 square metres.
