Abstract

The administration of fatwa in Selangor that has started well before Merdeka, has undergone phenomenal change. Specific legal provisions have largely underscored various aspects of the administration of fatwa including the appointment and power of Mufti, the establishment of Syariah Consultative Committee and the organisation of the administration of fatwa. This study in general attempts to clarify how fatwa has been administered - refering to the law and regulations that are applicable in the state of Selangor. This includes the process of gazetting the fatwa and to what extent the gazetted fatwa are binding to the Muslim community in the state. This study also includes other important issues that relate to the enforcement of fatwa.
