Summary
The answer does not give a single fixed ruling. It depends on the policy of each state. Local needs are also considered, namely whether the needs within the state have already been sufficiently met.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Ia bergantung kepada polisi negeri masing-masing dan juga melihat keperluan setempat, adakah telah mencukupi atau tidak.
