Summary
The original waqf is a family waqf (waqf zurri) limited to the four grandchildren of the endower, based on a will dated 26 March 1924. It has lapsed because the great-grandchildren are not counted as beneficiaries. The property becomes a general waqf under the Penang Islamic Religious Council (MAINPP), which is no longer bound by the original endower's conditions and may take over and plan its use.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Harta wakaf itu menjadi wakaf amdi bawah Majlis Agama Islam Negeri Pulau Pinang (MAINPP) dan MAINPP tidak lagi terikat kepada syurutul wakif pewakaf asal.
