Summary
Paying the dam money in Malaysia is permitted. The Hajj Advisory Committee of Tabung Haji even allows and encourages it, to ease the purchase of animals by Tabung Haji. The condition is that the animal must still be slaughtered within the Haram boundaries and the meat distributed to the poor in Mecca. Tabung Haji acts as the pilgrim's representative under the concept of wakalah.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
