“…Although several previous studies have discussed the legal implications of conversion to Islam in Malaysia (Abdullah, 2004;Adil, 1994Adil, , 1998Adil, , 2013Adil, , 2014Adil, , 2016Adil, , 2017aAdil, , 2017bAdil & Saidon, 2017;Ibrahim, 1990Ibrahim, , 1993Ibrahim, , 1996Ibrahim, , 2000aIbrahim, , 2000bHusin et al, 2016;Kusrin & Hashim 2016;Mohamed, 2010;Rahman, 2007;Wan Muhammad, 2010;Yussof 2014), those studies did not explore the need for legal empowerment or legal literacy for those affected in religious conversion.

Moreover, the implications of embracing Islam only occur in Malaysia.…”
