Summary
The Penang State Fatwa Committee agreed to the istibdal of part of plot 2 in the first section in exchange for the whole of the second section, to be used as a cemetery. Because the second section is smaller than the plot 2 area being exchanged, the remaining area of plot 2 in the first section, after deducting the size of the second section, must be kept as cemetery waqf land.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
