Syafiq Hasyim, ‘Effective Fatwas and Shariatisation in Indonesia, Malaysia, and Singapore‘, Archipel [Online], 111 | 2026, June 2026, http://journals.openedition.org/archipel/10169 ; DOI : https://doi.org/10.4000/16fx3
“This article argues that the institutionalisation of fatwas has become a significant force driving the process of shariatisation in Indonesia, Malaysia, and Singapore. The growing presence of fatwas within legal and public domains in these countries transforms shariatisation into what may be described as a “common sight,ˮ particularly in the realms of halal certification, Islamic finance, and public perceptions of religious propriety (proper Islam).”
