Summary
The Penang Islamic Religious Council may partner with the heirs of Sheikh Eusoff as co-managers of the waqf property. Options 1 and 3 proposed by the Waqf Division may be combined, with the heirs' share reduced according to the Council's circumstances. Housing units given to the founder's family are for residence only, not ownership, and may not be rented out, while the number of units is decided by the Council. The Council may also pay the family a fee for assisting the mutawalli in administering the waqf property.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Unit rumah yang diagihkan kepada pihak keluarga Sheikh Eusoff hanyalah untuk didiami sahaja dan bukanlah untuk dimiliki serka tidak dibenarkan untuk disewakan berdasarkan hasrat dan amanah pewakaf.
