Summary
The Selangor State Fatwa Consultative Committee decided that employee death compensation money is not considered compensation property. Its distribution is therefore not subject to the rules for dividing an estate. The decision was made at meeting No. 1/2001 on 16 January 2001 and covers money awarded by the government and private companies.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Wang pampasan kematian pekerja ini tidaklah dianggap sebagai harta pampasan. Oleh itu pembahagiannya tidak tertakluk kepada cara pembahagian harta pusaka.
