Summary
This Selangor fatwa permits non-Muslims to receive zakat distribution on condition that they are inclined towards Islam and their hearts can be won over, based on policy and public interest applied wisely for the purpose of da'wah. A muallaf is defined as a new convert whose faith is either weak or already strong, as well as a non-Muslim who is inclined towards Islam. The fatwa also approves the proposed expenditure codes to facilitate da'wah programmes for non-Muslims, such as publications, seminars, incentives, celebrations of significant days and courses.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Orang bukan Islam harus menerima agihan zakat (dengan syarat mempunyai kecenderungan dan boleh dijinakkan hatinya kepada Islam berdasarkan kepada siasah dan maslahah secara hikmah bagi tujuan dakwah)
