Summary
The Johor State Fatwa Committee decided that a specific guideline should be prepared for distributing zakat to the fi sabilillah category. The guideline draws on two schools of opinion: one limiting fi sabilillah to jihad on the battlefield, and the other extending it to all good deeds leading to the pleasure of Allah SWT. Combining both views aims to make distribution more complete in line with Islamic law while meeting current developments and needs.
