Summary
The Johor Fatwa Committee ruled that Baitulmal funds may not be spent or disbursed for any purpose other than the recipients (masarif) determined by Islamic law. The fatwa sets out three categories of Baitulmal property and how each is to be used under the Baitulmal guidelines. Any use of Baitulmal funds must rest on Islamic law and stay within the principles of the shariah.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
lujnah fatwa membuat keputusan bahawa tidak harus dibelanjakan atau dikeluarkan wang Baitulmal kepada yang lain selain daripada masarifnya yang ditentukan menurut hukum syarak.
