Summary
On 5 February 2008 the Selangor State Fatwa Committee issued recommendations rather than a detailed ruling on the child's status. It recommended that the Legal Technical Committee of the Selangor Islamic Religious Council amend enactments on takzir punishment for those who commit zina and on protecting the welfare of illegitimate children. The proposed amendments cover the Islamic Family Law Enactment, the Syariah Criminal Enactment and other enactments deemed necessary. The Selangor Mufti Department and the Department of Syariah Judiciary Malaysia were also urged to hold a special muzakarah on strengthening the jurisdiction of the Syariah Court.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
