Selangor has aligned its fatwa management system with the national level, according to a report from Utusan. The state’s religious council has now synchronized its structure with the national fatwa council, ensuring consistency in religious rulings across Malaysia. This move aims to streamline the process of issuing fatwas and improve coordination between state and federal authorities.
The change comes as part of broader efforts to modernize religious governance in the state. Officials say the new structure will enhance the efficiency of religious advisory services and ensure that rulings are more uniform and reflective of national standards. The alignment also allows for better collaboration on issues affecting the Muslim community, such as halal certification and religious education.
The decision was announced by the Selangor Islamic Religious Council, which emphasized the importance of maintaining religious integrity while adapting to contemporary challenges. The move has been welcomed by some religious leaders, who see it as a step toward greater unity in religious governance. (utusan.com.my)
