Summary
The Penang State Fatwa Committee did not issue a final ruling on establishing lineage in this case. It agreed that a further meeting be held between specialist doctors and the State Mufti to discuss the matter more thoroughly. The outcome will be reported to the committee members and confirmed at a later meeting. The committee also expressed disappointment that the applicant did not attend to give testimony.
