Summary
The Johor State Fatwa Committee ruled that it is permissible to use the money from public waqf share contributions to buy a completed building for the Darul Furqan project at PTD 170404 and PTD 170405, Taman Damansara Aliff, Johor Bahru. The ruling was made because the Johor Islamic Religious Council had not received planning permission for the original site PTB 22953 since 2013, causing construction costs to rise yearly and delaying the activities of the Johor Qurra' Association. The purchase replaces the project at the original site and is for the Johor Qurra' Association.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
