Summary
The Penang Fatwa Committee meeting in June 2006 approved using RM 450,000.00 from the Tawaqquf Account towards the purchase cost of the Alinamin Building. This was decided because the earlier purchase of land at Pantai Acheh remained unresolved. Baitulmal MAINPP was advised to apply for funds from the Department of Awqaf, Zakat and Hajj Malaysia. If that application fails, the full RM 850,000.00 purchase price is to be paid from the Tawaqquf Account and the building becomes tawaqquf property.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Mesyuarat telah meluluskan cadangan untuk menggunakan dana dari Akaun Tawaqquf sebagai sebahagian kos pembelian Bangunan Alinamin, ini kerana isu pembelian Tanah Pantai Acheh yang sebelum ini belum selesai lagi.
