Every fatwa in Selangor goes through rigorous process
SHAH ALAM: The Sultan of Selangor, Sultan Sharafuddin Idris Shah, today stressed that every fatwa issued in the state goes through a structured and thorough process. A statement posted on the Selangor Royal Office Facebook page said the Sultan also decreed that this diligence involved taking into account views from various parties, particularly from the state Fatwa Committee and syariah law experts. The post also shared the procedures undertaken before a fatwa is issued, stating that each ruling must go through a process of complete data collection, comprehensive information gathering, and a precise understanding of the issue before it is discussed. A 'Muzakarah Pakar' (expert discussion) is then held to thoroughly deliberate on the matter, attended by religious scholars, academics and relevant stakeholders, as well as officers from authorised bodies. "If no firm resolution is reached, a 'Bahthul Masail' (discussion of issues) will be convened. "This is a more focused and smaller-scale discussion aimed at resolving complex matters in greater detail and depth." "Only then will the Fatwa Committee Meeting be held, based on Section 48(2) of the Selangor Islamic Religious Administration Enactment 2003." It said every study is presented during the Fatwa Committee Meeting with scholarly value and includes two-way discussions between researchers and committee members. The 'sighah' (wording) of the fatwa that has been decided by the committee will then be reviewed and harmonised during the Technical Committee for the Harmonisation of Fatwa Meeting. "This sighah will be submitted to the Selangor Islamic Religious Council (Mais) Members' Meeting to carefully evaluate the proposed fatwa and make a recommendation to the Sultan of Selangor for gazettement. "If the Sultan of Selangor consents to the gazettement of the fatwa, only then will it be submitted to the state executive council meeting," the post added. The Selangor Royal Office stated that once the fatwa had been submitted, the legal advisor's chamber would review it before it was published in the Selangor government gazette. Earlier, Sultan Sharafuddin, through a posting on the Selangor Royal Office Facebook page, called on Muslims and the people of Selangor to understand and appreciate the essence of today's Friday sermon titled "Precision in Issuing Fatwas". – Bernama

Selangor Sultan calls for unity, compassion in Maal Hijrah message
SHAH ALAM: The Sultan of Selangor, Sultan Sharafuddin Idris Shah, has encouraged Muslims to reflect on their faith and renew their commitment to compassion and unity as the new Hijrah year begins.

The Sultan expressed concern over the prevalence of slander and backbiting, urging Muslims to heed the Prophet Muhammad's (PBUH) teachings on guarding one's speech. He also discouraged a culture of fault-finding and instead advocated for constructive and wise counsel to strengthen communal bonds. Additionally, His Royal Highness advised against self-righteousness, reminding Muslims to acknowledge the contributions of others rather than acting as self-proclaimed heroes.
