Summary
Failing to hand back government quarters after owning a house within 25km of the quarters is wrong. The civil servant breaches a condition of the contract agreed with the Property Management Division (BPH). The fatwa states that fulfilling contractual conditions is obligatory on both parties, and if one party breaches a condition, the other may cancel the contract. Civil servants are advised to be honest in fulfilling the conditions they agreed to.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Perbuatan tidak menyerahkan kuarters jika telah memiliki rumah dalam 25KM radius daripada kuarters adalah salah.
