Summary
The Johor Fatwa Committee set the zakat fitrah rate according to the type of rice most commonly eaten by Muslims in the state. Two rates were fixed: RM7.00 for those whose daily staple is local Super rice, and RM10.00 for those who eat rice other than local Super (imported rice) such as fragrant rice and basmati. Zakat fitrah receipts for that year are to be issued under these two rates.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
RM7.00 (Ringgit Malaysia Tujuh) bagi umat Islam yang menjadikan beras makanan hariannya dari jenis Super tempatan.
