Summary
The Selangor State Fatwa Committee ruled that zakat funds are not permissible for in-service training schemes for staff appointed by MAIS and its subsidiaries. The only exception is where the staff concerned fall within the asnaf categories who need assistance. The fatwa also recommends that MAIS appoint staff who already have expertise in the required fields.
