Summary
The Johor State Fatwa Committee ruled that money seized from donation collection done without permission from the Johor Islamic Religious Council is handled in three situations. If collected through donation boxes at premises, mosques, suraus, community halls or door to door, the money is returned to the owner named on the box. If a premises owner misuses the name of a welfare association for personal use, or an individual collects for personal use, the money goes to the Baitulmal of the Johor Islamic Religious Council.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
