Summary
The Johor State Fatwa Committee stated that it has no objection to this funding. The Waqf Rules 1983, under Section 15 (4), allow payment from an allocation deducted from the net rental income of the waqf at 2 1/2 to 5. The final decision is left to the Johor Islamic Religious Council, with a suggestion that the Council's development officer handle all development duties covering waqf, baitulmal, zakat and the Council itself.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Dalam hal ini Lajnah tiada apa-apa halangan dan mencadangkan serta menyerahkan kepada ketentuan dan keputusan Majlis Agama Islam Johor
