Summary
The Johor Fatwa Committee ruled that it is permissible for the ruler to regulate the management of property amil, based on the legal maxim that a ruler's actions toward the people must serve public benefit. The maximum limit per amil transaction was raised from RM20,000 to RM50,000, in recognition of the amil's efforts in increasing zakat collection in Johor. The amil wage rate remains unchanged at 1/16.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
