Syarie Legal Matters
Islam is recognised as the the religion of the federation, as stated in Article 3 of the Federal Constitution. This allows Malaysian Muslims to practice Islam freely and resolve disputes using Syariah law based on the Al-Quran and Sunnah.
Each state in Malaysia has its own Syariah law and courts. Therefore, anyone wanting to take a case to a Syariah court must find the right court with the authority to handle their case.
