Summary
The Penang State Fatwa Committee ruled that it is permissible for TNB to build a compact substation on mosque waqf land. The reasons given are that the mosque receives a commensurate benefit from TNB's financing of the Customer Connection Charge (CSP). TNB must also pay a lease amount for building the substation on the waqf land.
