The Muzakarah Committee of the National Council for Islamic Religious Affairs (MKI Fatwa Committee) will only issue legal opinions regarding GISB Holdings (GISBH) and not a fatwa, says Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department (Religious Affairs) Mohd Na’im Mokhtar.

He said that the fatwa related to GISBH would be determined by each state according to its own jurisdiction.

According to Na’im (above), the MKI Fatwa Committee has completed its discussion on the GISBH matter, and the results will be presented to the Malay rulers.

“The matter will be brought to the Conference of Rulers on Oct 23 and 24 for their consent,” he told reporters after officiating the 41st National Haj Muzakarah for the 1446H haj season in Kota Bharu last night.

On Sept 11, police raided 20 charity homes in Selangor and Negeri Sembilan linked to GISBH, due to alleged involvement in child exploitation and religious abuse.

The operation, codenamed Ops Global, uncovered cases of neglect and abuse, leading to the detention of several individuals associated with GISBH.

More than 300 individuals, including GISBH’s top management, have since been detained, and 572 victims have been rescued.
