Summary
The surplus money belongs to the students, because they contributed it for the motivational program only. It should be returned to the students or used for their own benefit. Teachers may not use it, and doing so is haram, to buy their own official attire unless the contributing students give permission. The fatwa also advises stating a broader purpose for the collection at the start of the campaign to ease future use of any surplus.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Justeru, para guru tidak boleh dan haram menggunakan wang tersebut untuk membeli baju rasmi sekolah.
