Summary
The Johor State Fatwa Committee ruled that the wages received by a property amil are subject to zakat at 2.5%, in the same way as income zakat. This applies once the conditions for zakat are met, namely being Muslim, owning wealth that reaches the nisab and completing the haul. For a corporate amil, the 2.5% is levied on the income of the company represented, under the same conditions.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Upah Amil yang diterima oleh AMIL HARTA adalah wajib dikeluarkan zakat 2.5% sama seperti zakat pendapatan setelah memenuhi syarat-syarat wajib zakat iaitu Islam, memiliki cukup Nisab dan cukup Haul.
