"Donations(zakat) are only for those who are miskin, fakir, amils who managed the zakat, muallafs who needs to tame their heart, those who wants to free themselves from the shackles of slavery, those who are in debt and and for spending in the road of Allah and those musafir (who has a shortage of money) during their journey. One resolution law that comes from Allah, and Allah Knows More, and Very Much Intelligent ."

From these 8 asnafs, 5 of them are helped because of their needs. They are the fakir, the poor, riqab, gharimin and ibnussabil (those who are stranded in their journey). And 2 of the Asnafs, are given assistance as they support the religious struggle, they are fisabilillah and muallaf. And the asnaf to manage the job of collecting and disbursing the zakat, are the amils.

Islamic scholars have determined that the amils are those who do work concerning with the collection and disbursement of zakat, this also includes the counters, assessors, who keeps zakat or manage zakat or disbursing it.

The rate of commissions received by the amils is limited to the amount of work that they do.
Imam Nawawi in his kitab Raudatut Talibin wa Umdatul Muftiyin Juz II m.s 327 had explained that:

"Amil commissions are followed according to the amount of work that they do. The Imams (group who are responsible about religion) can (sah) ask the amil to collect zakat without any conditions and after he finishes his job, he is given commission according to the job that he does. And if the party concerned, wants to set the payment as a salary towards a job done, or as an agreement upon a job done, can be taken from the zakat collection. And the amils cannot ask for more than that."

Base on this factor, Fatwa Muis committee had decided that the Fitrah committee's decision in determining the amils' commissions is not wrong from the viewpoint of hukum.
