Summary
The Johor State Fatwa Committee divides the disposal of non-Shariah-compliant wealth into two cases. Wealth that does not involve the rights of others is handed to Baitulmal for the public benefit of the ummah. Wealth that involves the rights of others is returned to its owner, or to the owner's heirs if the owner has died or cannot be found. If neither the owner nor the heirs can be identified, the wealth is handed to Baitulmal.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Harta tidak patuh syariat yang tidak melibatkan hak orang lain hendaklah diserahkan kepada Baitulmal untuk kegunaan maslahat ummah.
