Mufti Bill ensures more structured mufti powers, says Fahmi


KUALA LUMPUR: The Mufti Bill (Federal Territories) 2024 to be tabled for a second and third reading in the upcoming Parliament session will not expand the powers of the mufti, says Communications Minister Fahmi Fadzil.

Fahmi, who is also the Unity Government spokesman, said that instead, it is aimed at ensuring that the jurisdiction of the mufti is more orderly and clear, thus preventing any disputes over actions taken by the mufti.
