Summary
The institute may sell the waqf van at its current value if the van can no longer be used to the fullest for the welfare of the students. The management must buy a new vehicle so that the donor's reward continues. Any surplus may only be used for the maintenance costs of that vehicle. The new vehicle may not be rented out to generate income for the institute.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Pihak Maahad Tahfiz Al-Quran Baitul Musthofa harus menjual van wakaf mengikut nilaian semasa dengan syarat van tersebut tidak dapat digunakan secara maksimum untuk kemaslahatan dan kebajikan pelajar Maahad Tahfiz.
