What makes a syarie lawyer?


A non-Muslim who wants to practise as a syarie lawyer must believe in all fundamentals prescribed by Islam and understand as many Islamic teachings, principles and tenets as possible.

LEGAL dualism in Malaysia is reflected by the application of two sets of laws – syariah and civil. The former has been practised centuries prior to the invasion of the colonialists, while the latter was introduced after the coming of the British to this land.
