Summary
The Penang State Fatwa Committee decided that waqf fund contributions whose category cannot be identified are to be classified as cash waqf contributions, in line with the original establishment of the waqf fund. The ruling also states that MAINPP must strengthen its waqf fund collection management system, especially the details of contributors' contributions, to prevent such situations in future.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
