Kuala Lumpur. The appointment of women as judges in Muslim countries remains a
controversial issue, due to a general perception that such appointment might not be in conformity
with the syariah. The purpose of this research is to enlighten one of the contemporary legal
dilemmas in Islamic law namely, the appointment of women judges in Malaysia. The
methodology employed is library based research. This research will examine on the appointment
and jurisdiction of women judges in Malaysian Syariah Court especially in the State of Selangor.
