Summary
The Penang State Fatwa Committee approved the application for assistance with the cancer treatment costs of the former waqf trustee. The aid is drawn from the 2/3 portion allocated under the waqf trust of Lots 1798 and 1799, Mukim 12, Southwest District, at the discretion of the mutawalli, the Penang State Islamic Religious Council. The decision rests on the waqif's intention that 2/3 of the income be used for general purposes that bring benefit.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Keputusan ini adalah berdasarkan hasrat dan amanah pewakaf iaitu 2/3 bahagian daripada hasil pendapatan adalah bagi tujuan am dan boleh memberi manfaat.
