The Federal Court ruled that SIS Forum’s challenge was about the legality of how Selangor authorities issued a 2014 fatwa—not about Islam’s teachings. Chief Justice Tengku Maimun clarified the case focused on legal powers, not religious doctrine. The court upheld the fatwa's validity for individuals but said it can't apply to SIS, a company, as it cannot profess religion. The judgment emphasized that civil courts can review executive actions, even in Islamic matters, if done improperly.
