Malaysia and Brunei both apply a complex hybrid body of positive
law to their Malay Muslim majorities. This volume traces the
development of a unique "Anglo-Malay madhhab" in these states,
initially by colonial and latterly by successor states. In Malaysia
and Brunei, shari'ah has been filtered through Anglo-common law
state institutions, creating a hybrid "Anglo-Muslim" mixture of
legal doctrines. This system of jurisprudence makes only very
limited reference to the classical shari'ah but draws heavily on
the secular English common law and its legal traditions,
procedures, and principles. In post-colonial times, this system has
not been accepted without resistance and this volume considers the
impact of colonial and successor states on the development of legal
institutions and systems of Malaysia and Brunei.
