Summary
The Selangor State Fatwa Committee referred to its decision of 26-27 June 2006. Staff of the Family Law Division of the Selangor Islamic Religious Department do not qualify under the fi sabilillah category, so their salaries are not suited to being paid from zakat under this category. The fatwa lists other divisions that do qualify, including the Islamic Education Division and the Dakwah Management Division. For posts that do not qualify, the Selangor Islamic Religious Council is advised to pay emoluments from Baitul Mal funds or state government grants.
