Summary
The Johor State Fatwa Committee decided that the site is unsuitable for erecting a building for community use. The reasons are its small area, its location beside the main road into the village, and the concern that a building would encroach on other people's rights or land because facilities such as toilets and parking cannot be properly provided. The Pontian District Council also reported the lot as sub standard under town planning standards. Applicants who still wish to proceed are advised to find a site that is more suitable in size and location.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Keluasan tanah yang kecil dan bersebelahan dengan jalan utama masuk ke kampung tidak sesuai untuk didirikan bangunan untuk kegunaan masyarakat.
