Summary
The Penang State Fatwa Committee, at its meeting No. 3/2013, did not give a direct ruling on the status of wali hakim orders across states. It recommended that the Penang Syariah Judiciary Department bring the matter to the central authorities so that practice is standardised in all states. The issue is also to be submitted to the JAKIM Research Division for presentation to the National Fatwa Committee, since it concerns the national level.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Mesyuarat mencadangkan supaya Jabatan Kehakiman Syariah Negeri Pulau Pinang (JKSNPP) membawa isu ini kepada pihak pusat supaya diselaraskan di semua negeri
