Summary
The Penang State Fatwa Committee ruled that the redefinition of the ar-riqab asnaf by Zakat Pulau Pinang, under the Penang State Islamic Religious Council, is permissible. However, the concept and implementation model must be presented again by Zakat Pulau Pinang to the Fatwa Committee meeting before it is carried out. The decision was made at Meeting No. 2/2019 held on 17 and 18 April 2019.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
