PETALING JAYA: Fatwas remain an essential guide for Muslims in Malaysia, says Datuk Dr Mohd Na’im Mokhtar, even as the Federal Court ruled in favour of Sisters In Islam (SIS) Forum (Malaysia) in a long-standing legal battle over a 2014 Selangor religious edict.
The Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department (Religious Affairs) said the government respected the apex court’s decision and would study its implications carefully to safeguard the credibility and role of fatwa institutions in the country.
