BATU PAHAT: The Johor Islamic Religious Council (MAINJ) will collaborate with more shopping centres to diversify spending of the tithe (zakat), endowment (waqf) and fidyah (religious donations) money so that the collection continues to benefit the needy, especially the asnaf (eligible tithe recipients).

State Islamic Religious Affairs Committee chairman Mohd Fared Mohd Khalid said the proposed collaboration included with several supermarkets to help the asnaf people to shop for essential items for the Aidilfitri celebration.
