Sultan Sharafuddin Idris Shah emphasized that Selangor follows rigorous procedures when issuing religious rulings. The state ruler outlined comprehensive steps that involve multiple committees and expert consultations before any fatwa receives approval. Religious scholars, academics, and stakeholders participate in detailed discussions called Muzakarah Pakar to thoroughly examine each matter. Complex issues require additional focused deliberations through Bahthul Masail sessions when initial meetings fail to reach clear conclusions. The Fatwa Committee then convenes formal meetings based on state religious administration laws.
Technical committees review and harmonize the wording of approved rulings before submission to the Selangor Islamic Religious Council. MAIS members evaluate each proposed fatwa and recommend gazettment to the Sultan for final approval. State Executive Council meetings receive approved fatwas after the Sultan grants consent for publication. Legal advisors conduct final reviews before publishing the rulings in the official Selangor government gazette. The Sultan referenced a Friday sermon about precision in fatwa issuance during his statement.
