Summary
The Selangor Fatwa Committee adopted the decision of the National Fatwa Council. Officers who handle salary and income zakat as amil must be Muslim, and Muslim women may be appointed as amil. Non-Muslims may only be appointed for work not directly related to zakat, such as clerks and drivers.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
