Summary
The Johor Fatwa Committee agreed to accept the 2014 budget of the Johor Islamic Religious Council, subject to several considerations. Mosque development spending must not fund items unrelated to the mosque building, and the Council must not invest in risky business activities so that zakat funds do not suffer losses. The Council should also avoid the term surplus zakat in the budget. Distribution of the Ungku Muhsin Special Waqf is redirected to private religious school hostels in Johor, since the original beneficiaries in Mecca can no longer be traced.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Majlis hendaklah tidak melabur dalam apa-apa aktiviti perniagaan yang mempunyai risiko bagi menjamin wang zakat tidak mengalami kerugian.
