Summary
On 15 April 2008 the Sarawak State Fatwa Board decided on several amendments to the Zakat Distribution Manual. The poor and the needy are to be given priority through living-assistance aid, funeral management is funded by the Baitulmal Fund, and mosque affairs fall under the fi sabilillah category. Surplus zakat funds are placed under the Baitulmal fund with a special code, and any transfer of them to the Baitulmal General Fund must be referred to the Fatwa Board.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Peruntukan Pengurusan Jenazah akan dibiayai oleh Dana Baitulmal manakala Peruntukan Hal Ehwal Masjid diletakkan di bawah Asnaf Fi Sabilillah.
