SIS goes to Federal Court in bid to quash fatwa
SIS Forum is making a final push at the Federal Court to quash a fatwa issued by the Selangor religious authorities, labelling the group as deviants. – The Malaysian Insight file pic, April 27, 2023.
The organisation and one of its co-founders Zainah Mahfoozah Anwar had filed an application on April 14, seeking leave from the Federal Court to appeal against the Court of Appeal’s dismissal of its challenge against the fatwa. On March 14, the appellate court, in a 2-1 majority decision, dismissed SIS Forum’s appeal to quash the fatwa.
The fatwa, gazetted by the Selangor government on July 31, 2014, had declared that SIS Forum, any individual, as well as groups adopting deviant ideologies of liberalism and pluralism, were deviating from the teachings of Islam.
