Summary
The wage of a private amil for zakat on wealth is set according to the work, duties and responsibilities carried out. Because the Johor Islamic Religious Council already performs some of the amil's duties through its officers, the amil's share is reduced by raising the collection threshold above RM 20,000.00. The rates are 1/16 for collections below RM 20,000.00, 1/40 for collections above RM 20,000.00 up to RM 50,000.00, and 1/60 for collections above RM 50,000.00 up to RM 100,000.00. Collections of RM 100,000.00 and above must be handed to the Johor Islamic Religious Council with no wage taken.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Kadar upah bahagian amil zakat harta (persendirian) hendaklah dibahagikan mengikut upah kepada kerja-kerja dan tugas-tugas serta tanggungjawab yang dilakukan.
