Summary
The Penang State Fatwa Committee decided that MAINPP cannot proceed with the waqf of the land and house on Lot 3945, Mukim 4, North Seberang Perai. The reason is that the donor is unable to hand over the property to the recipient of the waqf, since it is still under charge to the Government of Malaysia. The meeting nonetheless thanked the applicant for her good intention.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
MAINPP tidak boleh melakukan proses mewakafkan tanah dan rumah tersebut kerana pewakaf tidak mampu menyerahkan barang yang hendak diwakafkan kepada penerima wakaf
