Summary
The Johor State Fatwa Committee confirmed that the space of An-Nur Mosque in the Pasir Gudang Town Centre Complex is waqf on the basis of waqf istifadhah. The istibdal application was not approved because of confusion over the waqf evidence. Pasir Gudang City Council was directed to endow a new site for a new mosque. Once the new mosque is completed, Friday prayers move there, permission for Friday prayers at An-Nur is withdrawn, and its space is managed by an appointed special nazir.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Masjid An-Nur yang terletak di Kompleks Pusat Bandar Pasir Gudang adalah disahkan status waqaf ruang masjid tersebut berasaskan kepada waqaf istifadhah (استفاضة).
