(1)

Notwithstanding the provisions of the Subscriptions Control Act

(Chapter 91), the Majlis may collect, or may grant licences to any person or body of persons, authorising him or them to collect, monies or funds for any charitable purpose for the support and promotion of the Islamic religion or for the benefit of Muslims in accordance with Muslim law, and may by any such licence impose such terms as it may think fit.

(2)

It is deemed to be a term of every such licence that the grantee thereof and every other person authorised thereby to collect monies or funds shall —

(a)

issue in respect of every sum so collected a serially numbered receipt in Form C in Schedule 1;

(b)

keep true and full accounts of all sums so collected and of the disposal thereof with all proper vouchers;

(c)

produce on demand the counterfoils of such receipts and all such accounts and vouchers for inspection and audit by the Majlis;

(d)

apply and dispose of all sums so collected in accordance with the terms of such licence, or, if no method of disposal thereof be thereby expressly authorised, pay and account for the same to the

Majlis.

(3)

Monies collected in pursuance of this section may be applied for a specific purpose if the Majlis shall so direct, but shall, in default of any such direction, be added to and form part of the General Endowment Fund.

(4)

No person shall make or take part in any collection of money for any such purpose as aforesaid unless with the express authority of the Majlis or by virtue and in pursuance of such a licence as aforesaid.
