PEMBAHAGIAN PULANGAN MANFAAT BAGI PELAKSANAAN PROJEK PEMBANGUNAN USAHASAMA TANAH MILIK MAINPP DI ATAS 2 (DUA) IAITU LOT 60, MUKIM 11, BAYAN LEPAS, DBD DAN LOT 496, MUKIM 14, BAGAN LALANG, SPU, PULAU PINANG
Can two MAINPP waqf lots in Bayan Lepas and Bagan Lalang be developed together in a single joint venture project?
Short answer
The Penang State Fatwa Committee did not agree to developing both lots simultaneously, because each waqf land has its own conditions set by the donor and must not affect the benefits of the other.

Summary
The Penang State Fatwa Committee did not agree to developing both lots simultaneously, because each waqf land has its own conditions set by the donor and must not affect the benefits of the other. The Bagan Lalang lot has no profit value of its own and depends on the Bayan Lepas lot, which would reduce the benefit to Bayan Lepas Mosque. If the project proceeds anyway, Wakaf Pulau Pinang must prepare separate cost and revenue projections, assess the shortfall in benefit for Lot 60 and compensate it from the profits of Lot 496.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Kedua-dua tanah wakaf itu diwakafkan oleh pewakaf secara berasingan dengan syarat-syarat wakaf yang tersendiri.
