Summary
The meeting decided that the waqf land may have its ownership transferred for the purpose of transferring the Nazir's administrative authority, subject to the conditions of the waqf. In the Shafi'i school this is not permitted, whereas the Hanafi school allows it because there is a benefit (maslahah).
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Pada hukumnya mengikut Mazhab Syafie, tidak diharuskan tetapi, pada Mazhab Hanafi, dibolehkan kerana ada maslahah.
