The SC, in a Resolution penned by Associate Justice Japar B. Dimaampao, directed the Office of the Court Administrator and the Fiscal and Budget Management Office to prepare and submit the budget and staffing pattern necessary for the operationalization of the Shari’ah High Court for the next fiscal year.

This comes after the formal request of the Bangsamoro Transition Authority for the immediate organization of the Shari’ah High Court, citing the imperative need to faithfully implement the provisions of R.A. 11054, which are relevant to the Shari’ah justice system in the BARMM.

The SC explained that under RA 12233, or the 𝘑𝘶𝘥𝘪𝘤𝘪𝘢𝘳𝘺 𝘍𝘪𝘴𝘤𝘢𝘭 𝘈𝘶𝘵𝘰𝘯𝘰𝘮𝘺 𝘈𝘤𝘵, it has the discretion to propose the budget and staffing pattern for the operations of the Philippine Judiciary, which includes the Shari’ah Circuit Courts, the Shari’ah District Courts, and the Shari’ah High Court.

The SC also affirmed its commitment to give life to the law’s vision of dispensing justice consistent with the unique cultural and historical heritage of the Bangsamoro.

Kapag walang trabaho ang tatay, di mapapakulong kung di magsusustento.
Ngunit kung may trabaho naman at di nagsusustento, ibang usapan na yon.

Subsequent marriage is permissible in Islam.

Alhamdulillah!

This is an ideal example of pagdadwaya (subsequent marriage), where the husband sincerely sought the consent of his first wife, and the first wife, with a heart full of ikhlas (sincerity), willingly gave her consent for the second marriage and its registration.

Such a beautiful example for Muslim men—choosing the rightful and respectful process to ensure harmony, fairness, and mutual understanding among their wives.

As the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ said:

“The most perfect of believers in faith are those who are best in their character, and the best of you are those who are best to their wives.”

For any assistance on matters such as marriage, divorce, registration of marriage, conversion to Islam, custody and child support, inheritance, or property partition, or other muslim civil concerns,
feel free to send us a message. We’re here to help and guide you through the proper Islamic and legal process.

LOVE YOUR FAMILY

“Messenger of Allah (ﷺ), towards whom should I be dutiful?” He replied, “Your mother, your father, your sister and your brother. Then your mawla (client) has the next right against you and then your relatives who are connected.”
