Summary
The Johor Fatwa Committee accepted the Johor Islamic Religious Council's 1441 H (2020) guidelines on paying zakat fitrah during the movement control order for Covid-19, with an amendment to item 8.5. A person who could not pay zakat fitrah in that situation is obliged to make it up (qada') promptly. This must be done at the latest before 30 Syawwal ends, or within one month after the movement control order period ends.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Dalam keadaan tidak dapat menunaikan zakat fitrah itu, maka wajib atasnya melaksankan Qada' zakat fitrah tersebut dengan segera atau selewat-lewatnya sebelum berakhir 30 Syawal atau satu bulan selepas tamat tempoh perintah kawalan pergerakan.
