Summary
The Selangor State Fatwa Committee ruled that it is permissible to use zakat funds to finance in-service training schemes for MAIS officers, from certificate level up to doctorate. The financing is limited to fields that MAIS urgently needs and only to cover a shortfall in costs. Priority is to be given to courses and studies available within the country.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Harus menggunakan peruntukan dana zakat untuk membiayai skim latihan dalam perkhidmatan bagi bidang yang amat diperlukan oleh MAIS setakat menampung kekurangan kos sahaja.
