Fatwa production in Malaysia will be published after the decision by Fatwa Committee. Fatwa will bind the Muslim community in Malaysia. Muslim community in is obliged to obey the gazette fatwa. Besides that, the gazette fatwa will become the sharia Islamic laws in Malaysia after the gazette. This can be seen in the State Act, Enactment and Ordinance of Islamic laws. However, the question is that does the personal opinion by the mufti without discussing in advance with the Fatwa Committee bind Muslim community in Malaysia? Therefore, there are two objectives of to resolve the question. The first objective is to explain the position of fatwa in Malaysia. The second one is to analyse the binding of law to personal opinion of muftis in Malaysia. To achieve these two objectives, thus the documentation method was performed. Documentation method was done to get data related to fatwa through books. The collected data were then analysed through content analysis method to explain the binding of law to personal opinion of muftis in Malaysia. The findings of this study indicated that the personal opinion of mufti is not regarded as a fatwa and a law in Malaysia.
