Summary
The Johor State Fatwa Committee ruled that redeeming the house is permissible. The permission is given because the applicant is poor. The payment to Baitul Mal may be made using funds from the poor (miskin) asnaf category.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Oleh kerana pemohon adalah seorang yang miskin maka Harus hukumnya dilakukan penebusan tersebut dengan menggunakan wang asnaf miskin untuk dibayar kepada Baitul Mal.
