Mais fails legal bid to reinstate 5 children’s Islamic conversion

The Federal Court denied leave for the Selangor Islamic Religious Council (Mais) and the Selangor Muallaf (new converts to Islam) Department chief registrar’s appeal to reinstate the Islamic conversion of five children.

The two state religious agencies’ appeal is over the 2020 Shah Alam High Court ruling which allowed a civil action by the children’s non-Muslim mother to invalidate the conversion initiated by their Muslim convert father.
