Summary
The Penang fatwa rules that ASUZ is a validly appointed amil of the Penang Islamic Religious Council (MAINPP) according to Islamic law, to carry out zakat administration including collection and distribution. MAINPP does not need to reappoint each ASUZ staff member individually as an amil. This is because they are employees of the amil that has been appointed.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
MAINPP tidak perlu me lantik semula secara individu semua kakitangan A SUZ sebagai amil kerana kakitangan ini merupakan pekerja kepada amil yang dilantik.
