Summary
The Penang State Fatwa Committee approved the proposal to use funds from the Tawaqquf Account towards part of the purchase cost of the Alinamin Building, because the purchase of land at Pantai Acheh remained unresolved. The State Islamic Religious Council's Baitulmal was proposed to apply to JAWHAR for funds for the purchase. If the application fails, the Tawaqquf Account may fund the whole purchase of RM850,000, and the building is to be treated as tawaqquf property.
