Summary
Baitulmal funds and assets should first be prioritised for the affairs and welfare of Muslims. However, the ruler is permitted to use Baitulmal money to assist non-Muslims for da'wah purposes, based on siyasah and need, applied with wisdom. This permission is subject to the financial capacity of the Baitulmal of the Melaka Islamic Religious Council.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Walau bagaimanapun, pemerintah diharuskan menggunakan wang Baitulmal untuk memberi bantuan kepada golongan bukan Islam berdasarkan siyasah dan keperluan secara hikmah bagi tujuan dakwah
