Summary
The Penang State Fatwa Committee decided that Lot 224, Mukim 12, Bukit Kecil, Juru, Seberang Perai Tengah is waqf land. The decision relied on a witnessed declaration that the land had been endowed by Hajah Siti binti Lebai Nun as a specific waqf for use as a cemetery, alongside documents relating to an heir's claim and a police report. Four local residents also testified that the entire plot was originally a burial ground and bore remains of a structure believed to be a surau or mosque. Further action was referred to the Penang Islamic Religious Council (MAINPP).
