PUTRAJAYA: A Selangor fatwa (edict) that declared Sisters in Islam (SIS) Forum Malaysia as “deviant” 11 years ago is not applicable to the company as the entity could not be construed as a person professing Islam, the Federal Court ruled.
The court ruled so after allowing an appeal by SIS in its dispute against the Selangor religious authorities over the fatwa that was gazetted in 2014.
