Summary
The Johor Fatwa Committee ruled that it is permissible under Islamic law for the ruler to make regulations on the management of property amil, based on the maxim that the ruler's actions toward the people depend on public interest. In view of the amil's efforts to increase zakat collection, the maximum limit per property amil transaction was raised from RM20,000 to RM50,000. The amil wage rate stays unchanged at 1/16.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
