Hudud in Malaysia: The issues at stake

---

The book Hudud in Malaysia: The Issues at Stake explores the complex debates surrounding the implementation of hudud—Islamic criminal punishments—in the Malaysian legal and political context. It analyzes the historical development of Islamic law in Malaysia, the constitutional constraints, and the socio-political dynamics that shape discussions on hudud. The author examines arguments from both proponents, who view hudud as a divine obligation, and critics, who raise concerns about human rights, pluralism, and national unity. Through a multidisciplinary approach, the book highlights how hudud serves not only as a religious issue but also as a site of contestation between political Islam, legal reform, and multicultural governance. Ultimately, it provides a balanced perspective on the challenges of reconciling Islamic principles with Malaysia’s modern constitutional framework.
