The research uses the descriptive analytical method to describe the essence of the topic and discuss the opinions of jurists on it from the considered jurisprudential references. The researchers came up with Islamic guidelines and values (of using good expression for issuing fatwā) and linked them to the current Malaysian context. The researchers also analyse the direct fatwā from the Fatwā House in the state of Kedah in this regard, and they conclude that this direct fatwā complies with the principle mentioned above.</em></p> ER -
