Summary
This fatwa rules that NGOs, individuals or other bodies collecting or distributing zakat in Selangor without the consent of the Sultan or his authorised representative, namely the Selangor Islamic Religious Council (MAIS) or the Selangor Zakat Board Trustee, is invalid under Islamic law. Zakat paid to such unauthorised parties is likewise invalid. The payer is still not discharged from the obligation to pay zakat.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Pembayaran zakat yang dibuat kepada individu atau badan lain yang tidak diberi kuasa yang sah itu adalah tidak sah dan pembayarnya masih tidak terlepas daripada kewajipan membayar zakat itu.
