Majlis Agama Islam Selangor

What Majlis Agama Islam Selangor does

Majlis Agama Islam Selangor (MAIS) is the statutory Islamic religious authority of the Malaysian state of Selangor, established in 2003 under the Enakmen Pentadbiran Agama Islam (Negeri Selangor) 2003. It administers Shariah affairs for the state's Muslim population through nine district offices (including locations in Shah Alam, Klang, Sabak Bernam, Batang Kali, and Serendah) and three rehabilitation centers. Core functions include estate and asset services (wasiat/wills, hibah/gifts, pengamanahan/trusts, harta pusaka/inheritance), Baitulmal stewardship, muallaf (converts) registration, Shariah legal aid, and religious education delivered through 12 Pusat Pemulihan Pendidikan (PPP) centers co-located across 19 mosques.

The organization operates digital platforms — e-MAIS for electronic service requests, E-Faraid for inheritance calculation under Islamic law, and Siswa MAIS for education — alongside its physical office network, reaching approximately 12.5 million website visitors annually. Revenue mechanics are non-commercial in nature: MAIS charges standardized service fees (RM300 for wasiat or hibah, RM10,000+ for trust execution with tiered fees), receives zakat-related allocations and wakaf (endowment) income, and administers wang tidak patuh syari'ah (non-Shariah-compliant monetary assets) under a 2008 designation from Securities Commission Malaysia. The organization coordinates with AADK (since 2017), PERKIM, Lembaga Zakat Selangor, and JAIS to deliver integrated religious and rehabilitation services.

As a state statutory body, MAIS does not have external shareholders or equity financing; its funding flows from government allocations, service fees, and administered religious funds. Partnerships with enforcement and zakat agencies (AADK, SC Malaysia, Lembaga Zakat Selangor) position it as a central hub within Selangor's Islamic administrative ecosystem rather than as a commercial market participant.
