SIS fatwa: Apex court rules only people, not companies can be declared deviant
The Federal Court has ruled that the Selangor religious authorities were wrong to issue a fatwa declaring the Sisters in Islam (SIS) organisation as deviant and contrary to Islamic teachings.
In a 3-1 majority decision, the panel of four judges chaired by Chief Justice Tengku Maimun Tuan Mat allowed the women's rights group's appeal to overturn the 2014 fatwa against it.
