Short answer
The Penang State Fatwa Committee did not approve the waqf application directly.

Summary
The Penang State Fatwa Committee did not approve the waqf application directly. After the family lineage linking the applicant to another person was presented, the meeting considered that this person might also hold a right to the land. It decided that the MAINPP Waqf Division should file the case in the Penang Syariah Court to resolve the question of rights.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Oleh itu, mesyuarat membuat keputusan supaya Bahagian Wakaf MAINPP membuka kes ini di Mahkamah Syariah, Negeri Pulau Pinang untuk menyelesaikan kes ini.
