Abstract

 Para ulama melakukan ijtihad ke atas permasalahan yang baharu berdasarkan kepada prinsip-prinsip syariah yang terdapat dalam al Quran dan al Sunnah. Ini termasuk usaha memperincikan lagi prinsip-prinsip syariah tersebut untuk membina undang-undang berkaitan tadbir urus prosedur tatatertib peguam syarie di Malaysia. Kajian berfokuskan kepada tiga objektif. Pertama, ianya menganalisis prinsip syariah berkaitan tadbir urus prosedur tatatertib peguam syarie di mahkamah syariah di Malaysia. Kedua, ianya mengenal pasti permasalahan yang wujud dalam pengaplikasian tadbir urus prosedur tatatertib tersebut. Ketiga, ianya mencadangkan penyelesaian kepada permasalahan yang wujud. Kajian adalah suatu kajian perundangan tulen yang mengguna pakai kerangka kualitatif dalam analisisnya. Kajian mendapati tadbir urus prosedur tatatertib peguam syarie di bawah Kaedah-kaedah dan Peraturan-peraturan Peguam Syarie digubal berdasarkan prinsip syariah berkaitan aduan, penyiasatan serta pembuktian yang menyokong prinsip keadilan menurut Islam. Walau bagaimanapun, kajian turut mendapati pengaplikasian prinsip-prinsip syariah berkaitan di bawah Kaedah-kaedah dan Peraturan-peraturan Peguam Syarie yang berkaitan tadbir urus peguam syarie adalah tidak jelas dan kabur. Wujud keperluan yang mendesak untuk menangani permasalahan berkaitan tadbir urus prosedur tatatertib peguam syarie di bawah peruntukan undang-undang tersebut. Justeru, kajian mencadangkan agar pindaan dilakukan ke atas peruntukan undang-undang terbabit dengan mematuhi prinsip-prinsip syariah berkaitan aduan, penyiasatan serta pembuktian berkaitan tadbir urus prosedur tatatertib peguam syarie. Pindaan tersebut juga harus turut berlandaskan kepada Rang Undang-undang Profesion Guaman Syarie (Wilayah Persekutuan) 2019 serta Akta Profesion Undang-undang 1976.

Syariah Lawyers’ Disciplinary Procedures at the Syariah Courts: Analysis from the Perspective of Syariah Principles

The scholars make an ijtihad on new issues based on the syariah principles found in al Quran and al Sunnah. This includes efforts to further refine these syariah principles to enact laws on the governance of disciplinary procedures for syariah lawyers in Malaysia. This research focusses on three objectives. Firstly, it analyses syariah principles relating to governance of disciplinary procedures for syariah lawyers at Malaysian syariah courts. Secondly, it identifies existing problems on the governance of such disciplinary procedures. Thirdly, it suggests solutions to the existing problems. This research finds that the governance of syariah lawyer disciplinary procedures under the Syariah Lawyers’ Rules and Regulations is based on Syariah principles on complaints, investigations and evidence which is in tandem with Islamic principles of justice. However, the research also finds that the application of these principles under the Syariah Lawyers’ Rules and Regulations is unclear and vague. There is an urgent need to address issues relating to the governance of syariah lawyer disciplinary procedures under these legal provisions. Accordingly, this research proposes that these related legal provisions be amended in line with syariah principles on complaints, investigations and evidence regarding governance of syariah lawyer disciplinary procedures. These amendments must also be based on the Syariah Legal Profession (Federal Territory) Bill 2019 and the Legal Profession Act 1976.
