Summary
The Selangor State Fatwa Committee set the new al-kifayah threshold for a household of 6 at RM2,475.00 per month for households with housing payments and RM2,145.00 per month for those without. This serves as the basis for assessing and determining the poor and needy (fakir and miskin) categories of zakat recipients. The basic needs deduction for income zakat payers with a household of 6 is RM30,100.00. The Selangor Zakat Board is to review the al-kifayah threshold for 2019 onwards.
