Summary
Disposing of assets of the Zakat Asnaf Distribution Program is permissible. The assets were not given to zakat recipients, so proceeds from disposal by sale are treated as zakat and placed under the category of fi sabilillah. Zakat Pulau Pinang must prepare clear guidelines on the methods of disposing of property and assets bought with zakat funds.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Hukum melupuskan aset Program Agihan Asnaf Zakat adalah harus.
