Benar kerajaan negeri pinda kuasa Mahkamah Syariah, kata peguam

FMT Reporters -February 21, 2022 5:24 PM

Mahkamah Persekutuan memutuskan DUN Selangor tiada kuasa membuat enakmen yang memberi kuasa kepada Mahkamah Tinggi Syariah negeri menyemak semula fatwa dikeluarkan pihak berkuasa agama negeri.

PETALING JAYA: Perlembagaan Persekutuan perlu dipinda supaya Mahkamah Syariah diberi kuasa melakukan semakan kehakiman ke atas keputusan yang melibatkan undang-undang syariah di peringkat negeri.

Dalam membuat desakan itu, Presiden Persatuan Peguam Syarie Malaysia (PGSM), Musa Awang berkata, Mahkamah Syariah wajar diberi kuasa itu kerana ia forum sesuai dan kompeten yang membabitkan pihak dalam kalangan orang Islam dan berpaksikan hukum syarak.

“Bagi melaksanakan maksud pindaan itu, PGSM menggesa kerajaan mewujudkan jawatankuasa khas bagi mengkaji dan mencadangkan pindaan Perlembagaan Persekutuan itu,” katanya dalam kenyataan.

Hari ini, panel sembilan hakim diketuai Ketua Hakim Negara Tengku Maimun Tuan Mat sebulat suara memutuskan bahawa Dewan Undangan Negeri (DUN) Selangor tidak mempunyai kuasa untuk membuat enakmen yang memberi kuasa kepada Mahkamah Tinggi Syariah negeri menyemak semula fatwa yang dikeluarkan oleh pihak berkuasa agama negeri.

Mahkamah Persekutuan juga mengisytiharkan bahawa Seksyen 66A Enakmen Pentadbiran Agama Islam (Negeri Selangor) 2003 adalah bertentangan dengan Perlembagaan Persekutuan dan oleh itu terbatal.

Seksyen 66A sebelum ini menyatakan bahawa Mahkamah Tinggi Syariah, boleh, demi kepentingan keadilan, dan atas permohonan mana-mana orang, menggunakan bidang kuasanya untuk mendengar dan membenarkan permohonan bagi semakan kehakiman terhadap keputusan yang dibuat oleh majlis atau jawatankuasa dalam menjalankan tugas bawah enakmen tersebut.

Pada 21 Jan 2020, Sisters in Islam (SIS) Forum (Malaysia) memfailkan notis usul yang antara lain memohon deklarasi bahawa Seksyen 66A Enakmen Pentadbiran Agama Islam (Negeri Selangor) 2003 sebagai tidak sah.

Pada 22 Sep tahun lalu, Mahkamah Persekutuan memberikan kebenaran kepada SIS untuk meneruskan tindakan perundangannya di Mahkamah Persekutuan bawah Perkara 4(4) Perlembagaan Persekutuan.

Mahkamah Tinggi Kuala Lumpur GAMBAR: Abd Razak Aid

PERSATUAN Peguam Syarie Malaysia (PGSM) menggesa Kerajaan Persekutuan untuk menubuhkan jawatankuasa khas berhubung isu berkaitan Mahkamah Syariah.

Presidennya, Musa Awang berkata, hal itu selepas Mahkamah Persekutuan memutuskan Mahkamah Syariah tidak mempunyai kuasa untuk membuat semakan kehakiman terhadap fatwa yang dikeluarkan oleh pihak berkuasa agama negeri.

“Kerajaan Persekutuan perlu mengambil pendekatan jangka panjang untuk meminda Butiran 1, Senarai II (Senarai Negeri), Jadual Kesembilan Perlembagaan Persekutuan.

“Ini untuk memberikan kuasa kepada Kerajaan Negeri mengadakan undang-undang bagi memberikan kuasa kepada Mahkamah Syariah Negeri.

“Ia adalah untuk menjalankan kuasa semakan kehakiman ke atas apa-apa keputusan yang dibuat oleh Majlis Agama Islam Negeri atau jawatankuasa-jawatankuasa yang menjalankan fungsi di bawah undang-undang syariah negeri-negeri, termasuk oleh jawatankuasa fatwa negeri-negeri,” katanya dalam kenyataan hari ini.

Mengulas lanjut, Musa berkata, PSGM berpendapat yang semua semakan kehakiman terhadap segala keputusan Majlis Agama Islam Negeri perlu dibuat oleh Mahkamah Syariah.

Justeru, katanya, PGSM menggesa Kerajaan Persekutuan untuk mewujudkan satu Jawatankuasa Khas bagi mengkaji dan mencadangkan pindaan Perlembagaan Persekutuan tersebut.

Terdahulu, Musa berkata, panel sembilan hakim yang diketuai Ketua Hakim Negara, Tun Tengku Maimun Tuan Mat sebulat suara memutuskan Dewan Undangan Negeri (DUN) Selangor tidak mempunyai kuasa untuk membuat enakmen yang memberi kuasa kepada Mahkamah Tinggi Syariah negeri menyemak semula fatwa yang dikeluarkan pihak berkuasa agama negeri.

Katanya, Mahkamah Persekutuan juga mengisytiharkan Seksyen 66A Enakmen Pentadbiran Agama Islam (Negeri Selangor) 2003 adalah bertentangan dengan Perlembagaan Persekutuan dan oleh itu terbatal.

Jelas beliau, Seksyen 66A sebelum ini menyatakan Mahkamah Tinggi Syariah boleh menggunakan bidang kuasanya untuk mendengar dan membenarkan permohonan bagi semakan kehakiman terhadap keputusan yang dibuat oleh majlis atau jawatankuasa dalam menjalankan tugas di bawah enakmen tersebut.

After Federal Court’s decision, Shariah lawyers want Federal Constitution changed to give Shariah courts judicial review powers

Monday, 21 Feb 2022 06:08 PM MYT

BY IDA LIM

KUALA LUMPUR, Feb 21 — The Shariah Lawyers Association of Malaysia (PGSM) today called for the Federal Constitution to be amended in order to empower state governments to make laws to give Shariah courts the power to exercise judicial review.

Earlier today, a nine-judge panel at the Federal Court — including the chief justice and also the top three judges in Malaysia — had unanimously declared that Section 66A in a Selangor state law was unconstitutional as the Selangor state legislative assembly did not have the power to make that law to give judicial review powers to Shariah courts.

Section 66A of the Administration of the Religion of Islam (State of Selangor) Enactment 2003 is the Selangor state law that attempted to give Shariah courts in Selangor the power to hear and decide judicial reviews on decisions made by those such as the Selangor Islamic religious council (Mais) and Selangor’s fatwa committee.

This is what Section 66A — which was struck down as invalid today by the Federal Court — states: “The Syariah High Court, may, in the interest of justice, on the application of any person, have the jurisdiction to grant permission and hear the application for judicial review on the decision made by the Majlis or committees carrying out the functions under this Enactment.”

Section 66A, however, does not make specific references to what these decisions would cover, such as whether it would involve fatwas issued by Selangor’s fatwa committee or Mais.

The Federal Court pointed out that it had in several other court cases already made clear that it is solely the civil courts that have the power to exercise judicial review, while pointing out that the Federal Constitution itself does not enable state legislative assemblies to make laws to give judicial review powers to the Shariah courts.

In a statement, PGSM president Musa Awang today described the Federal Court’s decision as a decision that Shariah courts do not have the power to make judicial reviews on fatwa (otherwise known as religious opinions) issued by state Islamic authorities.

Musa then went on to urge for the Federal Constitution to be changed in order to ultimately enable the Shariah courts to be able to carry out judicial review on decisions made by state Islamic bodies.

“PGSM urges the Federal Government to take a long-term approach to amend Item 1, List II (State List) of the Ninth Schedule of the Federal Constitution to give powers to the State Government to have laws to give power to the State Shariah Court to carry out judicial review powers on any decisions made by the State Islamic Religious Council or committees that carry out functions under state Shariah laws, including by state fatwa committees,” he said.

Musa insisted that the Shariah courts should have judicial review powers when it comes to decisions made by state Islamic religious councils or by state fatwa committees, arguing that Shariah courts are the “appropriate and competent forum as it involves parties among those who are of the religion Islam and revolves around hukum syarak”. The term “hukum syarak” refers to Islamic laws.

“In order to implement that amendment, PGSM urges the Federal Government to form a Special Committee to study and propose that Federal Constitution amendment,” he said.

Chief Justice Tun Tengku Maimun Tuan Mat delivered the nine-judge panel’s decision which recognised that judicial review powers belong solely to the civil courts.

Chief Justice Tun Tengku Maimun Tuan Mat delivered the nine-judge panel’s decision which recognised that judicial review powers belong solely to the civil courts.

Earlier today, the Federal Court had already explained however that only the civil courts have the power to carry out judicial review, to determine whether laws are valid by being consistent with the Federal Constitution and to determine for example whether decisions or exercise of public law powers (or exercise of powers by public authorities or public bodies) for being illegal or failing to follow procedures.

The Federal Court had also highlighted the difference between the making of a fatwa — or the procedures and laws to be complied with in the process of making a fatwa — and the fatwa’s substantive contents or what the fatwa actually says.

The Federal Court made it clear that it is still purely for the Shariah courts to decide on a fatwa’s contents and its interpretation to the extent that such matters involve “hukum syarak” (Islamic law) or personal law and not about matters involving contradictions with any written law — federal law, state law or the Federal Constitution.

But when it comes to situations such as whether a fatwa committee’s conduct or fatwa complied with procedures, the Federal Court said this would be for the civil courts to decide.

In examining the powers given under Section 7 of the 2003 Selangor enactment to Mais, the Federal Court noted that Mais’ powers clearly go beyond what could be considered as involving Islamic doctrines or being part of substantive Islamic law, but had instead crossed quite clearly into public law and involving public law powers.

Section 7 lists Mais’ duty of promoting economic and social development of Muslims in Selangor, as well as its powers to carry out activities involving the development of commercial and industrial enterprises and to give out loans or work together with others for such purposes, to make investments, to establish higher education loan schemes for Muslims, to establish and maintain Islamic schools and Islamic training and research institutions, and to establish and manage welfare home for orphans.

In other words, Shariah courts would still be the appropriate courts to decide on matters directly involving Islamic law, but civil courts would still be the only courts that have judicial review powers or the power to review whether decisions and actions and powers exercised by a public body are lawful and valid.
