Summary
The shares of a deceased KPMNJ member must be handed to the heirs, after obligations to Allah such as zakat, hajj and kafarah and obligations to people such as debts are settled. Trading the member's capital or savings after death does not comply with Islamic law and must stop, and profits and dividends earned after death are returned to the heirs. KPMNJ must make a diligent effort to find the nominee or heirs, and responsibility for distribution passes to the nominee once the shares are handed over. If no heir or nominee is traced after six months, the shares go to the baitul mal or small estate administration.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Ketetapan memperniagakan modal atau simpanan selepas tarikh anggota meninggal dunia yang telah dilaksanakan sejak tahun 2001 adalah tidak menepati hukum syarak dan hendaklah dihentikan.
