No evidence of gazettement in the source — this is not a gazetted fatwa.
Summary
In Penang, the taklik pronounced by a husband is made for the benefit of wives. Once the husband has pronounced it, he is bound by it and cannot withdraw it. It is regarded as a permissible condition because it neither makes lawful what is forbidden nor forbids what is lawful. The remaining dispute is whether a wife may establish that she does not consent to her husband's rujuk.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Apabila suami mengucapkan taklik itu maka ia terikat dengan taklik itu dan taklik itu tidak boleh ditarik balik.
