Summary
The 31st meeting of the Sarawak State Fatwa Board on 24 May 2018 only took note of the paper on the limit of muallaf status. No new ruling was issued, as a decision will be made only when an application requires one. Until then, the meeting agreed to follow existing practice.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
