Summary
The Penang State Fatwa Committee ruled that Lot 244 is waqf land according to Islamic law. The sale and the gift (hibah) of the land at that time were invalid. The fatwa cites the hadith of Umar's land at Khaibar and the statement that a waqf is not nullified but continues perpetually. The Penang Islamic Religious Council must defend the land's status as waqf.
