Summary
The 27th Muzakarah of the National Fatwa Committee (3 October 1990) ruled that Tabung Haji may not hand over money from depositors' inactive accounts to the Registrar of Unclaimed Money. The ruling rests on the agreement between depositors and Tabung Haji, which makes the institution a trustee for managing the deposited savings. The depositor's right to the money remains intact even when an account has been inactive for more than seven years.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
