Summary
The Penang State Fatwa Committee agreed that a cost of 25% may be given to the fundraiser for this wakaf coupon collection. The cost amount must be disclosed to the donors (waqif). The cost is to be taken from the proceeds of the development fund collection and not from the mosque's own fund.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Kos 25% tersebut hendaklah diambil daripada hasil kutipan tabung pembangunan tersebut dan bukan daripada tabung masjid.
