Abstract

The fatwa institutions in Malaysia play a crucial role in interpreting Islamic law and guiding the Muslim community. However, these institutions face various modern challenges affecting their effectiveness and relevance. This article explores the primary obstacles encountered by Malaysia’s fatwa institutions, including the conflict between traditional jurisprudence and contemporary societal issues, the impact of technological advancements, and the demand for increased transparency and accountability. It also considers how these institutions are adapting to the evolving socio-political landscape and the implications for their authority and legitimacy. This study aims to provide insights into how fatwa institutions can address these challenges while upholding their core principles by analysing recent developments. The findings offer valuable perspectives for policymakers, religious scholars, and the wider community, helping them understand and address the complex issues faced by Malaysia’s fatwa institutions in the 21st century.
