Summary
The Fatwa Committee decided that the allocation for mosques should be exempted from use, as this responsibility lies with the state government. It proposed that the term amil for zakat fitrah and property be changed to assistant amil, since amil refers only to the Johor Islamic Religious Council. The special waqf of Engku Muhamad Khalid involved in a culture and heritage ministry project was proposed for istibdal. The Council must also prepare working papers for fatwa decisions on several proposals, including laptops for asnaf, legal aid, distribution amil wages and a primary school for converts' children.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Peruntukan untuk masjid perlu di kecualikan penggunaannya kerana tanggungjawab dalam perkara ini adalah terletak dibawah tanggungjawab kerajaan negeri
