Summary
The Penang State Fatwa Committee ruled that the donor's waqf declaration is valid and subject to the rules of waqf. However, the waqf applies only to the portion of the house owned by the donor. Claims that other parties co-own the property must be settled in the Syariah Court.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Mesyuarat memutuskan bahawa lafaz wakaf oleh pewakaf adalah sah dan tertakluk kepada hukum-hukum wakaf.
