'Deviant' fatwa: SIS will appeal to Federal Court

Sisters in Islam (SIS) will file an appeal at the Federal Court against a ruling that civil courts have no jurisdiction to hear its legal challenge of a 2014 Selangor fatwa labelling the group as “deviant”.

SIS expressed "grave disappointment" with the Court of Appeal's majority decision to affirm the August 2019 High Court ruling that the Selangor Syariah High Court was the proper forum for a judicial review against the fatwa.
