Summary
The Selangor Fatwa Committee ruled that the donor's sighoh for Selangor Waqf Shares, whether general or specific, may not include an added Ujroh Li Nazir Al-Wakfi. The reason is that waqf money must not be reduced below the amount the donor endowed. However, if the donor agrees to the trustee's fee being taken from his waqf shares, this is permissible.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Pewujudan lafaz sighoh oleh pewakaf dalam Saham Wakaf Selangor sama ada am atau khas dengan tambahan Ujroh Li Nazir Al-Wakfi adalah tidak harus kerana wang wakaf tidak boleh dikurangkan jumlahnya daripada kadar yang telah diwakafkan oleh pewakaf.
