Summary
The Johor Fatwa Committee divides the handling of non-Shariah-compliant property into two cases. If it does not involve the rights of others, it is handed to Baitulmal for public interest (maslahah ammah) use. If it involves the rights of others, it is returned to the owner, and if the owner has died, it is handed to the owner's heirs. If neither the owner nor the owner's heirs can be identified, it is handed to 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.
