Summary
The Selangor Fatwa Committee decided that zakat funds approved for an asnaf category but not successfully delivered may be given to those entitled to receive them. Such recipients remain eligible even if they have moved out of the original asnaf category. The Selangor Zakat Centre is also advised to act earnestly and effectively in delivering zakat to the asnaf as a trust entrusted to it.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Wang Zakat yang telah diluluskan mengikut asnaf tetapi penyampaiannya tidak dapat diselesaikan maka pihak yang berhak layak menerima walaupun ianya telah keluar daripada asnaf yang asal.
