Summary
The campaign organiser is advised to first settle the recipient's medical costs, follow-up treatment and living costs affected by the illness. Part of the funds may be used for administrative and management costs such as vehicle fuel, only as far as needed, and preferably with records kept. Whatever remains after both matters should be handed over to the Baitulmal to be managed.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Baki sumbangan daripada kedua-dua urusan di atas, perlu diserahkan kepada Baitulmal untuk diuruskan.
