Summary
The Johor Fatwa Committee noted that the proposed Hari Raya aid rate for 1433 Hijri (2012 CE) was lower than the previous year. It recommended that the new rate be the same as the previous year or higher. If the allocation is insufficient to cover the additional rate, it is permissible under Islamic law to draw from the allocation for other asnaf.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Sekiranya peruntukan tersebut tidak mencukupi untuk menampung kadar pemberian tambahan bantuan hari raya,maka harus menurut hukum syarak mengambil dari peruntukan asnaf yang lain.
