Summary
The Johor Fatwa Committee ruled that constructing the Johor Islamic Religious Council building is permissible, limited to basic and primary needs, namely housing its officers and staff. Funds are drawn from the amil portion, after allocations from the gharimin, ibn sabil and riqab portions are first transferred to amil, while transfers from the poor, needy and fi sabilillah portions are not allowed. Payment must be made in cash, and the cost must not exceed RM50 million after the proposal paper is reviewed.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Membina bangunan Majlis Agama Islam Negeri Johor adalah harus (tiada halangan).
