Summary
The Johor State Fatwa Committee decided, based on the opinion of Imam Shafi'i, that the baitulmal is entitled to inherit the estate of the deceased. This applies when the deceased has no heirs, and also to any remainder of the estate that the existing heirs do not exhaust. The ruling is conditional on the baitulmal being well administered, as it currently is.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Justeru, baitulmal adalah pewaris pusaka harta si mati yang tidak mempunyai waris dan juga mempusakai bagi harta pusaka yang tidak dapat dihabisi oleh waris".
