Summary
This Bayan Linnas installment discusses public reactions to the Syariah Courts (Criminal Jurisdiction) (Amendment) Bill 2016, tabled by the Member of Parliament for Marang on 26 May 2016. Some parties welcomed the proposal, while others rejected it on grounds such as conflict with the constitution and the Maqasid al-Syariah. The paper aims to clarify these misunderstandings from the perspectives of history, law, Maqasid al-Syariah and the original aspiration behind the Syariah Courts (Criminal Jurisdiction) Act 1965.
