Selangor ruler Sultan Sharafuddin Idris Shah has given his consent to the decision adopted by the state fatwa committee in a special meeting on Global Ikhwan Services and Business Holdings Sdn Bhd (GISBH).

State Islamic Affairs and Cultural Innovation Committee chairperson Mohammad Fahmi Ngah said this was after His Royal Highness was informed on the matter by committee chairperson Associate Professor Anhar Opir at Istana Bukit Kayangan this morning.

“(The decision of the committee) was conveyed to the sultan of Selangor, and His Royal Highness has given his approval. Insya-Allah, tomorrow we will reveal the decision to some extent through the Friday sermon in mosques and surau in Selangor.

“But the fatwa (regarding GISBH) must be gazetted first before we make it law and carry out enforcement,” he said when contacted.

Last Monday, the Selangor Mufti’s Department convened to decide issues related to GISBH in the state.

In addition to the Selangor Islamic Religious Council meeting, a report related to GISBH was also presented by the Selangor Islamic Religious Department on Sept 24.

On Sept 21, the Selangor ruler expressed his disappointment over reports concerning the police’s investigation into criminal activities by GISBH and its network.

Sultan Sharafuddin subsequently decreed that all charity homes and Islamic schools under GISBH and its network that are not registered or suspected of being involved in criminal activities, including syariah crimes, should be closed immediately and barred from operating in Selangor.
