The Muslim Judicial Council (MJC), a non-profit umbrella body of Islamic clerics in South Africa, is headquartered in Cape Town, South Africa.[1][2][3] It was established in 1945 by the Muslim Progressive Society.[3][4] As of 2009, approximately 150 mosques were affiliated with it.[1]

In 2011, Muslim Judicial Council spokesman Shuaib Appleby condemned the killing of Osama Bin Laden, saying: “extrajudicial killing is totally condemned by Islam. A person must be duly tried, with a court deciding on a punishment if the person is found to be guilty. We hope that with (Bin Laden’s) death, the kinds of ideas that Muslims globally were subjected to – the Islamophobia – and being associated with terrorism will cease with immediate effect.”[5]
