Summary
The Penang State Fatwa Committee decided that the estate of Muhammad Fiyadh bin Abdullah has become wholly the property of the MAINPP Baitulmal. The Baitulmal is therefore permitted to distribute it to any party it considers in need and eligible. The mechanism, procedure for division and handover are left to the Baitulmal's discretion and goodwill.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Harta pusaka Muhammad Fiyadh bin Abdullah telah menjadi milik Baitulmal MAINPP sepenuhnya. Oleh itu, harus pihak Baitulmal untuk mengagihkan kepada mana-mana pihak yang difikirkan perlu dan layak.
