Summary
The Johor Fatwa Committee ruled that all collection agents for Johor Waqf Shares may receive a fee. The fee may not be taken from the Al-Ainul Maukuf funds derived from waqf share purchases, but for zakat amils acting as agents it may be drawn from Baitulmal or the fisabilillah asnaf share. That money is treated as an advance and must be returned through dividends or profits of the Al-Ainul Maukuf concerned. The rates are 5% for collections up to RM500,000, 4% for RM500,000 to RM2,000,000 and 3% above RM2,000,000, and these rates may be reviewed.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
