Summary
The Penang State Fatwa Committee ruled that the RM13 million compensation held by MAINPP is not permitted to be used to buy land for expanding Bayan Lepas Mosque. Profit from the fixed deposit of that money may be used, on condition that it follows the shares set out in the founder's trust deed. The benefit from the land is divided into three shares: for the mosque and the founder's maulid and haul feasts, for the founder's living heirs since the descendants from Kwantung have died out, and for managing house number 570, caring for the village and paying government dues. MAINPP is obliged to carry out the istibdal of the acquired waqf land without delay.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
