Summary
The Johor Fatwa Committee agreed to accept the proposed 2018 budget of the Johor Islamic Religious Council (MAIJ), subject to several points. Among them, natural disaster aid for the poor, the needy and fi sabilillah categories is to be placed under the gharim category, and the Darul Ukhwah construction is proposed to be done in stages according to priority. Advances from the zakat fund to the waqf and baitulmal divisions must be returned to the zakat fund as soon as repayments are received, even if gradually. The decision also states that the annual budget deficit should not exceed 5% and that new Muslim converts receive RM200 monthly living assistance for the first three years.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Bantuan bencana alam kepada asnaf fakir, miskin dan fi sabilillah hendaklah diletakkan dibawah asnaf gharim.
