Summary
The Johor Fatwa Committee ruled that it is permissible for Baitul Mal to set up a fund to finance education costs and an interest-free loan scheme (Qardul Hasan). The allocation is to be taken from the fi sabilillah category, rather than from the gharim category as originally proposed. The decision was made on 9 March 2010 and has not been gazetted.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
