He dismissed the judgment, and swore to Muslims. He also suggested that the cardinal courts be promoted to the highest legal status, including the formation of the Islamic Court and the Supreme Court.
Council Treasurer Sheikh Hassan Omar warned that the decision undermined Islamic values by legalizing relations outside of marriage, with Secretary -General Sheikh Mohammed Dori saying the betrayal made during Kenya’s independence to protect Islamic law systems.
