KUALA LUMPUR, March 14 — The Court of Appeal in a majority ruling today dismissed a challenge by Sisters in Islam’s — via SIS Forum Bhd — against Selangor’s 2014 fatwa which had labelled the company as deviant from the teachings of Islam.
In reading the broad grounds of the majority ruling, Che Mohd Ruzima said the High Court decision — which SIS Forum had appealed — was correct. Datuk M. Gunalan, the other judge on the Court of Appeal panel, gave his minority or dissenting judgment — which, among other things, viewed that the Selangor Islamic bodies could not apply the fatwa to SIS Forum Bhd as it is a company not capable of professing the religion of Islam.
