Summary
The Johor Fatwa Committee ruled that government funds collected from both halal and haram sources in the consolidated fund may be used. The reason given is that the state treasury today functions as the Baitulmal. The decision was made on 8 June 2010 and has not been gazetted.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Wang terkumpul kerajaan dari sumber halal dan haram yang terdapat di dalam kumpulan wang disatukan adalah harus digunakan kerana perbendaharaan negeri pada masa kini merupakan Baitulmal
