Summary
PERKIM is an organisation and does not fall within the zakat recipient categories, particularly the muallaf category. For the muallaf category, the converts themselves must apply to the Zakat Committee. For the fisabilillah and gharim allocations, there is no objection provided the funds are sufficient and approved by the Johor Zakat and Fitrah Committee.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Pertubuhan Kebajikan Islam Malaysia (PERKIM) adalah pertubuhan dan ia tidak termasuk dalam asnaf-asnaf zakat yang berhak menerima zakat khususnya asnaf Muallaf.
