The House of Representatives, on Friday, rejected a bill seeking to expand the provision for Islamic Law in the 1999 Constitution, sparking intense debate among lawmakers.
The proposed legislation, sponsored by Aliyu Misau, aimed to amend sections 24, 262, 277, and 288 by removing the word “personal” from Islamic law references.
Misau argued that the inclusion of “personal” after “Islamic” restricts its application, particularly in Islamic commercial laws.
