Summary
The Penang State Fatwa Committee ruled that using the cemetery waqf land of Masjid Ridwaniah Sungai Batu for parking when needed is permissible. The permission is conditional on there being no construction of any kind on the land. The application to build a roofed motorcycle parking shelter at the boundary of the mosque land and the cemetery waqf land is therefore not covered by this permission.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Penggunaan tanah wakaf perkuburan Masjid Ridwaniah Sungai Batu untuk parkir ketika diperlukan adalah harus, tanpa sebarang binaan.
