Summary
The Johor State Fatwa Committee decided that the disposal of non-Shariah-compliant assets falls into two categories. Assets that do not involve the rights of others are handed to the baitulmal for public benefit. Assets that involve the rights of others are returned to their owner, or to the owner's heirs if the owner has died or cannot be found, and handed to the baitulmal if neither the owner nor the heirs can be identified.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Harta tidak patuh syariah yang tidak melibatkan hak orang lain hendaklah diserahkan kepada baitulmal untuk kegunaan maslahah ammah.
