Former syariah judge Syeikh Azmi Ahmad has stressed that the decision to accept pronouncement of talaq (divorce) via SMS was agreed upon by the National Fatwa Council as well as other Muslim scholars.

As such, it is the court's execution of the fatwa that should be under discussion, not the fatwa itself of accepting pronouncement of talaq via SMS, he said in a press statement.
