Summary
The Johor State Fatwa Committee divides the handling of non-Shariah-compliant property into two situations. If the property does not involve the rights of others, it is handed to the baitulmal for public benefit (maslahah ammah). If it involves the rights of others, it is returned to its owner, or to the owner's heirs if the owner has died or cannot be found. Where neither the owner nor the heirs can be identified, the property is handed to the baitulmal.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Harta tidak patuh syariah yang tidak melibatkan hak orang lain hendaklah diserahkan kepada baitulmal untuk kegunaan maslahah ammah.
