Summary
The Penang State Fatwa Committee ruled that the land is a specific wakaf. One third is for Masjid Jamek Sungai Nibong and the remaining two thirds is for the general benefit of Muslims, as determined by the trustee under the indenture. MAINPP must promptly vest the land in its name, and any transaction by a party other than MAINPP, the sole trustee, is invalid and void immediately.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
