Summary
The Penang State Fatwa Committee resolved that part of the cemetery land, garage and parking area of the mosque on Lots 2332 and 2333, Mukim 7, North Seberang Perai has the status of waqf land by conduct (wakaf bil fi’li). The decision follows the view of Imam Ahmad ibn Hanbal that waqf can come into effect through action accompanied by indicative circumstances, such as building a mosque and allowing people to pray in it, or setting aside a cemetery and permitting burials there.
