Summary
The Selangor State Fatwa Committee resolved that fidyah and kaffarah may be paid to the Baitulmal of the Selangor Islamic Religious Council (MAIS). Both are to be distributed to the poor and needy in the form of rice, food or money, and distribution is limited to Muslims within Selangor. The fidyah rate for one missed fasting day is a quarter of the zakat fitrah paid. Baitulmal is permitted to charge a 15 percent management fee, excluding the actual fidyah and kaffarah amount.
