Summary
The Negeri Sembilan Fatwa Committee adopts the Shafi'i calculation: one cupak of rice, or one quarter of the current zakat fitrah value, for each missed fasting day. The amount is doubled if the missed fasts are not made up before the next Ramadan begins. If a person or representative cannot pay the Shafi'i amount, the Hanafi calculation may be used: half a gantang of rice, or half the current zakat fitrah value per day, without doubling; this rate is higher than the base Shafi'i rate but is not doubled. Payment as the value of rice is permitted, and the Negeri Sembilan Zakat Centre may receive it, with distribution handed to the Negeri Sembilan Baitul Mal.
