Summary
The Johor Fatwa Committee ruled that developing the Bazar Rakyat on the 7 proposed waqf sites is permitted, subject to conditions. The buildings must serve the Muslim community, especially activities that strengthen its economy, and land use must not exceed actual need. The waqf land involved must not be taken out of the mosque area, and the dignity of the surau grounds must be preserved. If the site is later needed according to the waqf deed, the building must be demolished and the site returned.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
