Summary
At its meeting No. 5/2009 on 22 October 2009, the Penang State Fatwa Committee did not issue a ruling on the proposed amendments to laws relating to religious conversion. The decision was deferred so the proposal paper could be discussed more thoroughly at a special meeting on 3 November 2009. Several legal experts were to be invited to give their views to help the committee reach a decision.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
