ANNOUNCEMENT ON THE REGISTRATION METHOD FOR ISLAMIC MEDICAL PRACTICE PRACTITIONERS AFTER THE END OF THE TRANSITIONAL PERIOD

Following the meeting with the State Islamic Religious Departments (JAIN) on 12 November 2024, a proposal paper on Registration Method for Islamic Medical Practice Practitioners After the End of the Transitional Period was presented at the T&CM Council Meeting on 7 April 2024.

The Council members agreed that:

1. The registration of Islamic Medical Practice practitioners is via two methods as follows.

     (i)  Possess a recognised qualification, namely DKM 4: Ruqyah Treatment, or

     (ii) Fulfilment of the i-Syifa’ screening requirements.

2. JAIN is permitted to impose an i-Syifa screening fee not exceeding RM100.00 and this fee is separate from the registration application fee payable to the T&CM Council.

Therefore, starting from 1 June 2025, all practitioners who wish to register for Islamic Medical Practice via the i-Syifa’ screening method must first apply to undergo the i-Syifa’ screening at the respective JAIN based on their place of residence. Only practitioners who have passed the i-Syifa’ screening will be allowed to apply for registration under the T&CM Council.
