Summary
The Penang State Fatwa Committee ruled that Lot 1398 (New Lot 4112), Mukim 5, North Seberang Perai District, is waqf land based on the trust deed dated 30 April 1900. The cancellation of the original deed poll by the Commissioner on 15 September 1987, and the confirmation through a Deed of Gift dated 26 March 1965, were declared invalid under Islamic law. The ruling relies on the hadith narrated by al-Bukhari about Umar's waqf of land in Khaibar, which may not be sold, gifted or inherited.
