Syafi’i school is the main school practiced by the Muslim community in Malaysia. The practice of Mazhab Syafi’i not only involves individual practice, but the final opinion of Syafi’i School is recognized as a priority view in the enactment of Islamic law throughout Malaysia except Perlis. The question is, does the use of the final opinion of Syafi’i School apply in all fatwas? Or a mixture of views is also used in determining the fatwa? To answer the question, this study tries to analyze the use of the final opinion of Syafi’i school in fatwas decided by the Fatwa Committee of Negeri Sembilan (JKFNS). This paper uses the documentation method as a data collection method. The fatwas analyzed are a total of 18 fatwas from the scope of worship only. This is because the fatwa of worship is the fatwa most decided by JKFNS. The data were then analyzed using content analysis methods. The study found that JKFNS prioritizes the qawl muktamad (final opinion) of the Syafi’i School in determining its fatwa even though there are some fatwas that are decided based on the external views of the Syafi’i school.
