• 10 Nov 2021 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Chairlady, this is where I am going to propose an amendment which I am going to write. I beg to move: THAT, the Bill be amended by deleting clause 4 and substituting therefor the following new clause— Validity of a waqf.

• 10 Nov 2021 in National Assembly: 4. (1) A waqf shall be valid where — (d) it is made for religious purposes, and for the poor and vulnerable within the Muslim community. view
• 10 Nov 2021 in National Assembly: I am going to write it and explain to Hon. Shakeel Shabir who does not understand because he is saying that it is already provided for in (e). In (e), it provides that it is made for the benefit of the Muslim community and, if secular in character, it is reserved for the benefit of the poor. view
• 10 Nov 2021 in National Assembly: On this one, we were not in agreement but I decided to refer to the Muslims because my reading was suggesting that there are times when non-Muslims can benefit. However, I was told it is not so. So, because of that, my (e) is deleted. My understanding was that non-Muslims could benefit but I am told they cannot benefit except the poor and the vulnerable in the Muslim community. So, I have provided for that in any event because I support the uplifting of the poor and vulnerable in the society, whether Muslim or Christian. view

• 10 Nov 2021 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, maybe, I just wanted to indicate that many of the amendments I was doing were actually based on my reading of Islamic scholars and they said exactly what Hon. T.J says; that it can benefit non- Muslims so long as the non-Muslim is not using it for purposes that go against Islamic faith. You cannot, for instance, be given support to go and drink beer or use it to open a bar. That will not be allowed. view
• 10 Nov 2021 in National Assembly: However, because I did not want to appear like I am going against… I am a Christian. I am not a Muslim. If the Muslims have said that is what their faith says, who am I to refuse? view
• 10 Nov 2021 in National Assembly: I second. view
• 10 Nov 2021 in National Assembly: The Temporary Deputy Speaker (Hon. Christopher Omulele): Sorry Members, there is a technicality to putting the question. view
