Summary
Estate left behind with no heirs among the Ashab al-Furudh and Asabah is managed by MAIPs (the Perlis Islamic Religious and Malay Customs Council) for the benefit of Muslims. At the same time, MAIPs management is advised to give priority to the Zawil Arham where this can be done. The fatwa states this approach better suits current needs within the country's legal context.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
