Summary
The Negeri Sembilan fatwa rules that Employees Provident Fund (KWSP) contributions form part of the deceased's estate and must be distributed according to faraid, the Islamic law of inheritance. The nominee who receives the money is responsible for distributing it to the rightful heirs. Money from PERKESO, named in the fatwa as Pertubuhan Kebajikan Sosial, is not estate property and is not subject to faraid distribution. The fatwa also revokes the earlier fatwa N.S. P.U. 3/2002.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
