The Practice Direction issued by the Department of Syariah Judiciary Malaysia (JKSM) has helped fill the loopholes in the Islamic law provisions related to matrimonial property claims due to divorce, death or polygamy. However, to date, there has been no mapping made to match the Practice Directions with the loopholes in the statutes. Therefore, this study aims to analyse the position of Practice Directions in matrimonial property proceedings using a document analysis approach based on cases found in Jurnal Hukum, grounds of judgment, reported cases, and interviews with seven study participants who are directly involved with matrimonial property case proceedings in Syariah Courts. The findings of the study found that three reforms should be done on the statute of Islamic law in Malaysia starting from the legal reform related to the place of registration of case claims, the position of matrimonial property claims due to death and also the procedure of giving testimony in court, which can also be done in writing. This study is important to assist researchers and experts in understanding the efforts and the process of standardisation of Islamic law in Malaysia.
