Fahami fiqah secara menyeluruh, titah Raja Muda Perlis

Raja Muda Perlis, Tuanku Syed Faizuddin Putra Jamalullail, initiated a discussion on the comprehensive understanding of fiqh during the 4th Nusantara Scholars' Conference and Islamic and Adat Law Scholars' Discussions 2026 in Kangar. The Ruler emphasized that understanding fiqh should account for differing opinions of scholars and current realities to handle community issues fairly and wisely.

It should be based on principles and requirements of Islamic law from the Quran and Sunnah, without disregarding its principles and demands, Raja Muda stated. He believed that a comprehensive approach is essential to provide clear religious guidance suited to contemporary needs, strengthening faith in the practice of religion rooted in knowledge and wisdom.

The Ruler expressed hope that the conference would yield resolutions and new ideas that could be disseminated to society through writing, publishing, and academic programs. These resolutions, he hoped, would serve as guidance for government administration, religious institutions, educators, and society in addressing various present-day challenges, strengthening the culture of knowledge, and guiding the people towards prosperity.

The two-day conference commenced on October 14th and was sponsored by the Perlis State Mufti Office, in collaboration with the Islamic and Adat Law Scholars' Association of Perlis (MAIPs). The theme of the conference was "Broadening Fiqh in Handling Contemporary Challenges." The program focused on the role of fiqh in addressing increasingly complex social-political and technological issues in the region.

The conference brought together scholars, muftis, academics, and Islamic researchers, including delegations and representatives from Malaysia, Indonesia, Thailand, Singapore, Brunei, Cambodia, and Vietnam. During the event, Raja Muda also presented certificates of appreciation to 25 conference delegates.
