Summary
The Penang State Fatwa Committee decided that the school land is a specific waqf (wakaf khas). Under section 89 of the Islamic Religious Administration Enactment (State of Penang) 2004, the Penang Islamic Religious Council is the sole trustee of waqf in the state. The Council is to take over administration of the premises and carry out the founder's intention, namely a waqf for a religious school and for teaching the Quran, Islam and Arabic.
