Summary
The Penang State Fatwa Committee decided that Wakaf Pulau Pinang is classed as an asnaf of fi sabilillah solely to make it eligible to receive zakat allocations from Zakat Pulau Pinang. After two years this classification ends, and its operating costs must be met from its own funds without zakat money. Zakat Pulau Pinang and Wakaf Pulau Pinang are also to coordinate with each other as agencies under MAINPP to avoid misunderstandings in carrying out their duties.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Wakaf Pulau Pinang (WPP) dikategorikan sebagai asnaf fi sabilillah hanya bagi melayakkan WPP untuk menerima peruntukan zakat daripada Zakat Pulau Pinang (ZPP) sahaja.
