The Penang Syar'iyyah Committee decided that zakat must be spent according to the annual budget. If the allocation for a particular asnaf cannot be fully distributed as budgeted, the allocation is transferred to other asnaf. The Council is also advised to set up a zakat distribution committee.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
