In the course of my research for my commissioned pieces, I have to visit many websites. Here is one if you are interested to see how Islam works in Malaysia in comparison to other countries. There is an online fatwa repository so you can see all the different directives enacted by the council of ulamaks in different states.
Just go to the sidebar called e-JAKIM of http://www.islam.gov.my/portal/. There is supposedly an English version but even then, you will still get a number of documents that retain the Malay language in the "English" site. Unfortunately for non-readers of Malay, the fatwas are all in Malay as well. So, sorry if you can't read that language.
