Summary
Hearing civil case proceedings in the Syariah Court through remote communication technology is permitted in emergency situations or certain circumstances, and is not contrary to Islamic law. Each session must reach the level of certainty and be free from gharar, tadlis and doubt among the parties involved. The conditions attached to the pillars of the Majlis al-Qadha’ (the judge, the court decision, the matter in dispute, the claimant and the defendant) must be fully upheld. The orders of the Ulil Amri and other laws in force must also be obeyed.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
