Summary
The Selangor Fatwa Committee retained its 2012 decision that the costs of benefit-based zakat distribution are drawn from the fund of the asnaf receiving the distribution. Salaries of staff in MAIS's Social Development Sector are paid from the Muallaf and Riqab asnaf funds. LZS officers transferred to welfare or protection centres are paid from the asnaf fund financing the centre, while those transferred back to LZS are paid from the amil fund. Each officer's duties must match the source of their pay: amil-funded officers may handle all amil tasks, while officers paid from other asnaf funds are limited to tasks related to that asnaf.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Pegawai LZS yang dipindahkan daripada pusat kebajikan atau perlindungan ke LZS hendaklah dibayar emolumen mereka melalui sumber dana amil.
