Summary
The Kedah State Fatwa Committee held that MAIK should return the claimed Plot 2 to the original owner without any payment. The sale agreement (offer and acceptance) at RM50,000 covered only Plot 1 up to the minaret and did not include the owner's house yard. To speed up the transfer of title, the committee advised MAIK to use a wakalah (agency) arrangement from the seller to MAIK, rather than a hibah (gift) instrument.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Jawatankuasa Fatwa berpandangan bahawa MAIK hendaklah menyerah kembali bahagian Plot 2 yang dituntut oleh pemilik asal tanpa dikenakan sebarang bayaran.
