Summary
The Selangor State Fatwa Committee ruled that zakat funds from the riqab allocation may not be used to finance allowances for the staff of the BALKIS complex. The reason given is that the staff on duty do not fall under the riqab category of recipients. The fatwa recommends that the Selangor Islamic Religious Council pay these allowances from Baitul Mal funds or from a state government grant allocation.
