Why do the Shariah Standards vary between Malaysia and the Middle East?
The entire gambit of the Shariah is not a codified legal system. While there are issues on which all the Shariah scholars would agree, they may disagree on certain other issues. Their disagreement is based on the interpretation of evidence available from the Quran and Sunnah (Prophetic example). The difference in the Shariah standards between Malaysia and the Middle East is a reflection of that reality.
