Summary
The Fatwa Committee agreed to grant recognition to the Penang Islamic Religious Council to sell the special waqf land to a developer. The proceeds are to be converted into an istibdal waqf in the form of four buildings as a replacement for the land. Their benefits go to the upkeep of Bayan Lepas Mosque, with the remainder used for public purposes for the welfare of Muslims. The Council was also given recognition to vest the rights in the istibdal waqf buildings in place of the land.
