Summary
The Johor State Fatwa Committee ruled that the baitul mal is the heir to the estate of a deceased person who has no heirs. It also receives the remainder of an estate that the heirs do not fully exhaust. The ruling follows the opinion of Imam Shafi'i, on condition that the baitul mal is well administered as it is at present.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Justeru, baitul mal adalah pewaris pusaka harta si mati yang tidak mempunyai waris dan juga mempusakai bagi harta pusaka yang tidak dapat dihabisi oleh waris.
