Deviant teaching is one of the most important subjects in the issuance of fatwa in Malaysia. Despite the fact that the subject is not much related to fiqh, most of the fatwa issued officially in state gazette was on deviant teaching. Once a particular teaching is considered deviant through fatwa, the state agency, especially the Islamic religious department will take necessary steps to enforce the fatwa by prosecuting individuals involved. It has been noted by many that prosecution of offenders under this category was difficult due to administrative and procedural issues especially matter of evidence. It is therefore the aim of this article to discuss some aspects of fatwa on deviant teaching and issues related to its enforcement in Malaysia. The article will also discuss briefly some introduction on subject of fatwa and provide some development on the enforcement of deviant teachings in Malaysia.
