Summary
The Johor State Fatwa Committee ruled that deductions from the Baitulmal redemption value are permissible. Allowed expenses include land tax, property tax, legal fees, travel costs for managing the estate, land clearing costs and the cost of performing hajj on behalf of a deceased who had not done so. The applicant pays RM31,100 after a deduction of RM5,900 from RM37,000. To transfer the land title, the applicant must pay at least RM10,000 as a down payment, with the balance payable in instalments.
