Summary
The 68th Muzakarah of the National Fatwa Committee, held on 14 April 2005, decided that the transfer of corporate zakat payments according to state entitlement does not require a fatwa. A state that still needs zakat distribution assistance may apply directly to a State Islamic Religious Council with high collections. That council will consider the application and make a decision.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Muzakarah telah memutuskan bahawa isu perpindahan bayaran zakat oleh badan-badan korporat mengikut kelayakan negeri-negeri tidak memerlukan fatwa.
