Summary
The Perlis Fatwa Committee relies on the Shariah evidences established by recognised scholars, in order of priority: the Quran, the Sunnah, consensus (ijma') and analogy (qiyas). Disputed sources such as istishab, the practice of the people of Madinah, the opinion of a Companion, laws of earlier revealed religions, istihsan and maslahah mursalah are also considered in the process. This announcement overrides any earlier statement that gave a different meaning.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
