A Comparative Study on Conversion of Religion in Islamic Law and Malaysian Law
Open accessAbstract
Islam is a pure religion.Its truth is evident.Whoever is guided by Allah to be a Muslim, he will be a Muslim and whose heart is blinded from accepting Islam as his creed, he will be a non-Muslim.As a matter of fact, the right to choose a religion or a creed is given in Islam.This is based on a general ruling in al-Quran which is "There is no compulsion in choosing a religion".However, this concept should not be seen as contrary to dakwah which must be performed by every Muslim by using wisdom, not compulsion.Islam also has laid down the guidelines and principles concerning the relationship between Muslims and non-Muslims.It is known that Islamic law was the primary law in the States of Malaya.One of the examples is the Malacca law which was applied in Malacca and had influenced other states under Malacca conquest as well.This article will analyze the subject of conversion of religion in Islamic law and in Malaysian law.

Such discrepancies foster perceptions of arbitrariness and undermine confidence in the fairness of religious governance.
“Such discrepancies foster perceptions of arbitrariness and undermine confidence in the fairness of religious governance (Omar et al., 2020).”
From APOSTASY PUNISHMENT IN ISLAMIC SCHOLARLY DISCOURSE: PERSPECTIVES AND IMPLICATIONS IN THE MALAYSIAN CONTEXT (2025) · cites this paper as Omar et al., 2020
The Modern Era section says Malaysian states have different enactments governing conversion, with some following federal law and others Islamic law. The paper does not say these discrepancies foster perceptions of arbitrariness or undermine confidence in the fairness of religious governance. (LLM, conf=0.78)
Experimental — accuracy not yet measuredThe formulation and enforcement of Shariah laws, including those related to apostasy, fall within state jurisdiction, resulting in significant disparity.
“Accordingly, the formulation and enforcement of Shariah laws, including those related to apostasy, fall within state jurisdiction, resulting in significant disparity.”
From APOSTASY PUNISHMENT IN ISLAMIC SCHOLARLY DISCOURSE: PERSPECTIVES AND IMPLICATIONS IN THE MALAYSIAN CONTEXT (2025) · cites this paper as Omar et al., 2020
The Modern Era section says each state's authority sets different enactments on the religious status of minor converts, with some following federal law and others Islamic law. This supports state-level variation, but the passage does not establish that formulation and enforcement of Shariah laws generally—including apostasy laws—fall within state jurisdiction. (LLM, conf=0.86)
Experimental — accuracy not yet measuredThe Federal Constitution allocates responsibility for religious affairs to state governments through their respective Islamic Religious Councils.
“The Federal Constitution allocates responsibility for religious affairs to state governments through their respective Islamic Religious Councils (Omar et al., 2020).”
From APOSTASY PUNISHMENT IN ISLAMIC SCHOLARLY DISCOURSE: PERSPECTIVES AND IMPLICATIONS IN THE MALAYSIAN CONTEXT (2025) · cites this paper as Omar et al., 2020
The Modern Era section (page unavailable) says each state's authority sets enactments concerning religious conversion, supporting a limited state-level role. It does not say that the Federal Constitution allocates responsibility for religious affairs to state governments or that they exercise it through Islamic Religious Councils. (LLM, conf=0.72)

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
