Summary
The Perlis Fatwa Committee ruled that a child born from the marriage of a Muslim man and a Kitabiyyah woman is legitimately attributed to the father and is a Muslim. The ruling rests on the Perlis Fatwa of 1 June 2010 on the permissibility of marrying women of the People of the Book. All related legal consequences of this status also apply.
