Summary
The Johor Fatwa Committee agreed that surplus zakat collection not spent in 2020 may be distributed in the current year. One-off assistance was approved for Islamic elderly care homes, special education centres for Muslim autistic children, registered tahfiz madrasahs and the Johor association for persons with disabilities, while assistance was also approved for poor orphans not living in welfare homes. Distribution considers the budgeted object codes, payment is allowed until March of the following year or until the current financial statement is closed, and the method applies to surpluses in future years.
