Summary
The Selangor fatwa rules that the Selangor Waqf Corporation may not open accounts with conventional banks. It also may not accept waqf donations made through the bank accounts, credit cards and debit cards of conventional account holders. The same fatwa permits the corporation to accept waqf contributions from non-Muslim individuals or companies, as long as the source is not clearly haram.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Perbadanan Wakaf Selangor (PWS) tidak harus membuka akaun di bank konvensional dan tidak harus menerima sumbangan wakaf menggunakan akaun bank, kad kredit dan kad debit bagi pemegang akaun konvensional.
