Summary
Paying housing maintenance fees is obligatory when the fees are agreed upon in a contract and collected in accordance with the established laws and regulations. The joint management body is permitted to collect them, and owners must pay if collection follows legal provisions and mutual agreement. The obligation rests on the implied contract of adhesion (aqd iz'an) and on obeying the ruler's regulations for the public good. Refusing to pay is considered a debt and a form of wrongdoing to others.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Hukum membayar yuran penyelenggaraan rumah dalam Islam adalah wajib apabila yuran tersebut telah dipersetujui dalam perjanjian serta dipungut mengikut undang-undang dan peraturan yang telah ditetapkan.
