Summary
The 87th Muzakarah decided that the ruling of the 76th Muzakarah in November 2006 is consistent with Islamic law and needs no amendment. The issue of individual zakat distribution is described as mainly one of implementation and law enforcement under state jurisdiction, to be discussed and coordinated with all State Islamic Religious Councils. State religious authorities are asked to prioritise distribution to eligible asnaf, and JAWHAR is asked to study the positive and negative impacts of individual distribution.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
