PUTRAJAYA: A woman who was born out of wedlock to a Muslim father and a Buddhist mother today won her appeal in the Federal Court to be declared a non-Muslim.
Chief Justice Tun Tengku Maimun Tuan Mat, chairing a nine-member bench, delivered the 7-2 majority decision through Zoom in allowing Rosliza Ibrahim’s appeal and granted the declarations sought by her.
She held that Rosliza is not a person professing Islam because there is no proof that she is a Muslim by original faith.
Justice Tengku Maimun said there was also no proof that Rosliza’s mother professed Islam at the time of Rosliza’s birth as she considered herself a Buddhist in her written application for a new identity card in 1995 and in her statutory declaration in 2008.
