Summary
Individuals and business companies must pay their wealth zakat and business zakat in full to the Johor Islamic Religious Council. The Council may grant an allocation to payers who apply to distribute it themselves to recipient categories they have identified, following the Council's guidelines. The allocation is based on the total zakat funds available, not on the amount the applicant paid.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Semua individu dan syarikat perniagaan hendaklah membayar zakat harta dan zakat perniagaan secara keseluruhan kepada Majlis Agama Islam Negeri Johor.
