Summary
The 2001 Selangor fatwa states that zakat on paddy is calculated on gross income without deducting production costs. The reason given is that paddy farmers bear high costs, such as water services and machinery, to obtain a good yield. All Muslims living or working in Selangor must pay paddy zakat to the amils or assistant amils appointed by the Selangor Islamic Religious Council.
