Generally, the distribution of Muslims’ estate in Singapore is based on the Administration of Muslim Law Act which is known as AMLA. This act has been enacted as a result of Muslims’ experience under British occupation and the joining of Singapore to Malaysia. Although, this Act is part of the Personal Law for Muslims, there are still some issues in terms of legal application and Muslims’ understanding of the Islamic law itself that affect the full implementation of the law in matters related to Muslims’ estates in Singapore. This article is aimed at discussing these issues and to explore the real situation of distribution of Muslims’ estates in Singapore. |
