EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The issue of witchcraft has gained attention from the authorities. The
33rd Fatwa Committee of the National Council for Islamic Religious
Affairs of Malaysia, which was convened on October 11, 1993 has
decided that the ‘relevant parties should provide legal provisions to
punish witches who have been convicted for practicing black
magic.’ The same is echoed in a number of conferences and semi- 15
nars. However, these efforts have not been successful due to lack of
expertise in that field as well as difficulties in burden of proof. Thus,
there is a need to transfer findings of a research related to witchcraft
to the authorities to solve the issue. A Ph.D research entitled “The Use
Of Witchcraft In Committing Crimes In Malaysia: A Need For Preven-
tion Through Legal Mechanism" was completed in 2010. According-
ly, the results of this study have been proposed to be shared and
transferred to the authorities as it will help legal authorities to enact
a set of transparent, logical and practical rules and procedures
related to witchcraft. The mechanism established will prevent
people from becoming slave and victim of witchcraft.
