Summary
The Perlis State Fatwa Committee sets three conditions for a person with disabilities to receive zakat as poor or needy. Their physical and mental condition must prevent or burden them from earning an income and caring for themselves. They must lack sufficient personal wealth to meet living needs, and be over 18 years old. A person with disabilities who needs support for studies not contrary to Islamic law may receive zakat under fi sabilillah even if younger than 18.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Jika seorang OKU memerlukan bantuan menuntut ilmu yang tidak bercanggah dengan hukum syarak, dia boleh mendapat peruntukan zakat di bawah fi sabilillah sekalipun berumur kurang dari 18 tahun.
