Summary
The Selangor State Fatwa Committee ruled that it is permissible to carry out distribution activities for the fii sabilillah category of the poor and needy in the form of substance and benefit, according to need. This does not apply where any problems arise. The Selangor Zakat Board is also to emphasise spiritual enrichment through various programmes.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
