Section 38

Notwithstanding any written law to the contrary, the Mufti shall not be liable to be summoned to any civil court or Syariah Court to give opinion or evidence relating to Islamic Law, but if in any court other than a Syariah Court, any question of Islamic Law calls for a decision, that court may request the opinion of the Mufti on the question, and the

Mufti may certify his opinion to the requesting court.
