Summary
The Penang Fatwa Committee ruled that offering this scholarship openly through KITAB Penang is permissible. Priority is given to Penang natives, while qualified candidates from other states and from abroad are also given an opportunity. The meeting did not agree with the proposed method of repaying zakat funds by students who stop midway through their studies. The text mentions an alternative proposal concerning penalties or fines, but its wording is unclear and probably means that no penalty or fine is to be imposed.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
