Abstract
The enforcement of Sharia criminal laws is one mechanism for controlling the well-being of Muslims in Malaysia. However, the enforcement of these laws face challenges in the current era of borderless technology. There are Sharia criminal offenses occurring in cyberspace that cannot be enforced under Sharia law due to constraints, including evidentiary aspects. These challenges make the enforcement of Sharia criminal laws in the country not in line with the pace of technological advancements. This writing aims to analyze the enforcement of Sharia criminal laws in cyberspace, focusing on the evidentiary aspects in this country, while proposing resolutions to the arising issues. The study employs a qualitative method and a doctrinal approach. Data is obtained through library research, legal statutes, and reported or unreported cases. The collected data is then analyzed using content analysis. The findings of this writing reveal several issues arising from the evidentiary aspects that hinder the effective enforcement of Sharia criminal laws in cyberspace. Therefore, the writing suggests that appropriate measures be taken to ensure a more effective enforcement of Sharia criminal laws in cyberspace, aligning with the current developments in the world.
