Summary
The Johor State Fatwa Committee ruled that the land endowment is valid according to Islamic law. The donor endowed property that was fully owned for the purpose of a religious school site, and the endowment was completed clearly before the Segamat District Kadi on 15 October 1989. Accordingly, any restriction, caveat, claim or compensation by any party, whether heirs or non-heirs, is not valid under Islamic law.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Maka sahlah wakafnya mengikut hukum syara'.
