‘Only fatwa committee can issue Islamic decrees’

JOHOR BARU: Fatwa or Islamic decrees in Johor can only be issued by the fatwa committee, said the state exco in charge of Islamic affairs, Mohd Fared Mohd Khalid.

Although it did not specifically refer to anyone, Mohd Fared’s reminder comes on the heels of a recent controversial declaration that was made during campaigning for the Pulai and Simpang Jeram by-elections.
