Summary
The Johor State Fatwa Committee ruled that placing the radio transmitter station on this waqf land is not permissible. The ruling rests on the waqf deed (sighah), which states the land was endowed solely for the sake of a mosque. The proposed transmitter was judged to have no connection with the purpose of the waqf.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Lajnah mendapati bahawa menurut sighah/hujjah wakaf ini adalah semata-mata kerana masjid, perkara yang dicadangkan ini tiada kaitan dengannya, dari itu menempatkan stesyen pemancar tersebut tidak harus.
