Summary

The Penang State Fatwa Committee decided that the endower's condition in Trust Deed No. 514/10 dated 9 December 1920 means the land is to be used as a burial ground only. Therefore, houses may not be built on the land. The exception is houses that already existed before the waqf process was carried out.

Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.

Oleh itu tidak boleh dibina rumah di atas tanah tersebut, kecuali rumah yang telah sedia ada sebelum proses wakaf dilaksanakan.
