Summary
The Council of Ulama of the Kelantan Islamic Religion and Malay Customs Council, meeting on 6 December 2015, agreed to the proposed amendment. It inserts Article 5a after Article 5, stating that the basic sources of reference for Islamic law in the state are the Quran, the Sunnah, Ijmak (consensus) and Qias (analogy). The aim is to strengthen the Shariah legal system and clarify the primary sources used by the Shariah Court. Article 5 remains stated, providing that Islam is the state religion and other religions may be practised in peace and harmony.
