Summary
The Selangor fatwa sets a maximum of five years for a person to be called a muallaf, based on custom (uruf). This period applies on condition that the muallaf attends religious classes recognised or organised by the Selangor Islamic Religious Council (MAIS). MAIS is also responsible for covering all learning costs of these muallaf.
