STATUS WASIAT ENCIK ROSLI BIN BAHARUDDIN
Are the waqf and bequest in the will of Encik Rosli Bin Baharuddin valid, and how should they be carried out?
Short answer
The Penang State Fatwa Committee ruled that the waqf wording (sighah) in the will is invalid because it does not meet the waqf conditions set in the Shafi'i school.

Summary
The Penang State Fatwa Committee ruled that the waqf wording (sighah) in the will is invalid because it does not meet the waqf conditions set in the Shafi'i school. The remaining bequests in the will, apart from the waqf, must be fulfilled at no more than one third of the deceased's total estate.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
sighah wakaf yang terkandung dalam wasiat berkenaan adalah tidak sah serta tidak menepati syarat wakaf yang telah ditetapkan dalam mazhab al-Syafi'ie.
