Politicians, financial practitioners, government sector workers and even the private sectors are affected by this situation. This article aims to examine the implications of the offered moratorium on Islamic financial customers. To achieve the objectives, this research’s method uses a quantitative research approach in the form of field research.

A ruling by Malaysia’s Court of Appeal in 2017 that Muslim children conceived out of wedlock can carry their father’s name has sparked a debate over the civil court’s jurisdiction to set aside a fatwa. But this decision was overruled by Federal Court in 2019. This study aims to analyse the constitutional issues between statutory law and fatwa, followed by the analysis of whether the denial of the right to carry biological father’s name is in line with the Maqasid al-Shariah. This study was carried out using qualitative research method. The collection of data is derived from an unstructured interview with two experts in the field of constitutional law and fatwa. Secondary data analysis was obtained from National and state fatwas, legal documents, court cases, articles from the journal, book, and newspaper. This study concludes that whether the judgment is constitutional or unconstitutional depends on the interpretation made by the learned judges of the provisions in the Statutes. From the Maqasid al-Shariah point of view, Muslim scholars who disallow the ascription of paternity to the illegitimate children’s biological father, uphold to preserve the purity of lineage (hifznasb), while the group who allows it chose to prevent harms and preserve dignity (hifz al-irdh). This study contributes by providing insights on the relevancy of illegitimate children’s attribution in the constitution and Maqasid al-Shariah point of view.
