Syariah Law
Syariah law in Malaysia governs the personal and family matters of Muslims, including marriage, divorce, child custody, inheritance, and religious obligations. It operates alongside civil law under a dual legal system, with each state administering its own Syariah laws through the Syariah courts.
At Isadora & Associates, our Syariah law practice is grounded in a strong foundation and deep respect for Islamic legal principles. We offer comprehensive legal services with extensive experience in both substantive and procedural aspects of Syariah law.
