Various efforts have been made to boost the tourism sector in Malaysia including through public transport facilities provided such as sightseeing bus facilities or better known as hop on hop off buses which have now started operating in Kuala Lumpur and Penang. This transportation facility is an alternative to introduce the main tourist attractions in a relaxed and interesting way. However, this bus facility is still less popular among tourists. Therefore, this study was conducted to analyze the hop on hop of bus facilities to improve the existing operating system. Spatial analysis approach using geographic information system (GIS) is used for analysis and mapping purposes. Network analysis is used in this study to determine the suitability of the route and placement of existing hop on hop off bus stations. The results of this study show that tourist areas that are easily accessible, especially using public transport such as buses get the highest visits, especially from foreign tourists. Placing a hop on hop off bus station that is easily accessible to tourists is of great benefit to them. Nevertheless, the analysis shows that there are some bus stations that need relocation due to their proximity to each other. There are a number of stations that need to be placed near tourist areas that were previously not included in the list of hop on hop off routes. This amendment is needed to enable all potential and attractive tourist areas to be visited by tourists either from within or outside the country and further drive the development of tourism in Penang.

Sharia law was formed based on the revelation of the Prophet Muhammad. The Quran explains the various fields include laws regarding crime, Islamic evidence, muamalah and so on. From the point of view of Islamic jurisprudence, qārinah is recognized as a method of proof in Islam. There are various methods of attestation accepted in Islam such as iqrār, shahadah and qārinah. In this context, qārinah was known as shawāhidul hāl includes forensic evidence. However, the question arises as to the compliance of forensic evidence from the point of view of fiqh. There are concerns about the understanding of legal practitioners in the context of forensic evidence positions in sharia courts. Therefore, this research aims to identify the position of forensic evidence from the perspective of fiqh and to analyze the forensic evidence position that is admissible in a shariah court based on al-Quran and al-Hadith. To achieve this objective, a qualitative research method was used. Data collection is done by two methods, namely library and document analysis. The findings show that forensic evidence is admissible as a form of evidence in court based on fiqh. Research also found that although there are verses from the Quran and al-Hadith about forensic evidence, the Shariah courts still favor traditional methods of proof, namely iqrar and shahadah. Therefore, the research proposes that the practitioners’ knowledge of the law be enhanced academically or practiced based to fiqh scriptures is admissible in sharia court and its acceptance does not conflict with Islamic law.

This paper presents an analysis of the data of the visibility of the new moon collected at Teluk Kemang, Malaysia from 1972 to 2008. Contemporary fiqh's views by Yusuf al-Qaradawi are employed as fundamental principles to scrutinize the data, that is, the use of calculation is more practical in achieving the legal objective of determining the visibility of new moon. The calculation should be used as a method to validate the report of new moon sighting. Based on the results obtained, we propose several geometrical parameters to be taken into consideration for sighting the new moon after sunset, such as the relative altitude at ≥ 5° and solar depression angle at ≥ 0.5°. According to the parameters, the minimum width of the new moon is visible to aided eyes on the 29th day of Hijri is 0.18 arc seconds. Based on fiqh's consideration, we agree that the method of rukyah and istikmal used to determine the sighting of the new moon must be strengthened by using calculation in order to ensure that the sighting report is valid because of the possible occurrence of ambiguity and errors if that is the only method used.

The fatwa of a companion, as one of the disputed sources of Islamic law, has its role in explaining law derived from Ijtihad that is formulated by the companion. The two main functions of this Ijtihad are to reinterpret law that is available in the legal text and to explicate something new without going against the Islamic law. This article aims to elucidate its definition and the opinion of the principles of Islamic jurisprudence scholars on matters relating thereto. The discussion is also centred on the specific cases on farā'id, which is well-known for its particular name and calculation that made it famous. Four cases have been chosen as samples - al-musharrakah case, al-kharqa' case, al-akdariyyah case and al-hamziyyah. Generally, the authority for deriving Ijtihad focuses more on the individuals who were frequently referred to in issuing a fatwa. In addition, the role of Ijtihad of a companion in elaborating a law is very important even though it has already been detailed in legal text. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
