Muslim Association of Canterbury leaders have “full confidence” in its due diligence processes following several complaints. Pictured, president Mohamed Jama outside the March 15 terrorist’s sentencing last year.
The Department of Internal Affairs (DIA) is investigating complaints about the charity that runs Christchurch’s largest mosque. The Muslim Association of Canterbury (MAC) severed ties with the national body the Federation of Islamic Associations of NZ (Fianz) at an annual general meeting (AGM) on January 24, when many members also say it made “unconstitutional” changes to how it runs.
Stuff reported concerns from members and a charities expert about the “inappropriate” practice of giving all financial control to the president, and that members were not given time to fairly consider and vote on big decisions.

Members of the association in charge of Masjid An Nur, or Al Noor mosque, feel they have not been consulted over major changes like severing ties with national body Fianz.
The charity behind Christchurch’s Masjid An Nur (or Al Noor mosque) has severed ties with a national Muslim body and made “unconstitutional” changes to how it runs, members say. They feel the Muslim Association of Canterbury’s (MAC) annual general meeting (AGM) on January 24 was not widely publicised and resulted in those attending being put under duress to vote on a controversial rewrite of the organisation’s rules. Some are seeking legal advice.
