Summary
General waqf land that is difficult to develop or utilise may be sold without istibdal, provided the proceeds are reused for another general or specific waqf. Payment for the purchase of such land is not bound to any fixed period. The Selangor Waqf Corporation may set the payment method so that full payment is made as soon as possible.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Tanah wakaf am yang sukar untuk dibangunkan atau dimanfaatkan adalah harus dijual tanpa istibdal tetapi hasilnya hendaklah digunakan semula untuk wakaf am atau khas yang lain.
