Summary
The Penang State Fatwa Committee ruled that investing in ASN and ASB, and receiving their dividends or bonuses, is permissible. The ruling aims to protect the interests and welfare of Muslims and to avoid a greater harm, after reviewing PNB's briefing on its maqasid shariah screening and shariah compliance improvements. Earlier decisions from 1999 and 2009 on the matter were revoked.
