Summary
It is permissible to use the Fi Sabilillah asnaf allocation for certain committees: Dakwah, Tauliah, Islamic Education, Legal, Fatwa, Aqidah Management and Falak. The fixed allowance and meeting attendance allowance of the MAIS Meeting, the Audit Committee and JAKESS must be paid from Baitulmal funds. The Halal Certification Committee is funded from halal certificate issuance revenue, while the Qariah Committee is funded from the special allocation of the existing EXCO Standing Committee on Islamic Affairs.
