PUTRAJAYA, 28 October 2025 — The Mufti of Federal Territory’s Office (JMWP) received a courtesy visit from a delegation of Pusat Pungutan Zakat, Majlis Agama Islam Wilayah Persekutuan (PPZ-MAIWP), led by Mr. Azlan Shaari, General Manager of Human Resources.

Strengthening Strategic Collaboration

The visit aimed to further strengthen the strategic collaboration between PPZ-MAIWP and JMWP, particularly in the empowerment of zakat management that remains relevant to contemporary needs and the realities of urban communities. Both institutions share a common vision of enhancing the efficiency, governance, and social impact of zakat administration.

The meeting was chaired by Sahibus Samahah Tuan Ahmad Fauwaz bin Fadzil, the Mufti of the Federal Territory, who emphasised the importance of fostering strong ties between fatwa institutions and zakat collection centres.

This connection, he noted, is vital for ongoing knowledge exchange, research cooperation, and evidence-based fatwa formulation that supports the development of Islamic social finance.

Towards a Shared Vision under Malaysia MADANI

This collaborative engagement is expected to enhance the synergy between both institutions in strengthening zakat management based on Maqasid Syariah. It also aspires to contribute meaningfully to the socio-economic development of the ummah and the well-being of the community, aligning with the broader aspirations of Malaysia MADANI.
