The Supreme Court (SC) will release the results of the 2026 Shari’ah Special Bar Examinations (SSBE) on 1 July, following the tests administered on 24 and 27 May.

In a notice issued by 2026 SSBE Chairperson Associate Justice Henri Jean Paul B. Inting, the SC said the official results will be announced on Tuesday afternoon.

To accommodate examinees and their families, LED walls will be installed at the SC courtyard to display the names of successful examinees. The gates of the SC main building will be open to the public from 12 noon to 6 p.m.

The announcement will also be streamed live on the SC's official Facebook page and YouTube channel.

The complete list of passers will be posted on the 2026 Shari’ah Bar Microsite and the SC's official social media platforms following the official release.

The high court reminded examinees to rely only on information released through its official channels.

Successful examinees must complete the mandatory clearance process from 2 July to 6 July. The clearance period will run from 8 a.m. on 2 July until 4:30 p.m. on 6 July.

The SC warned that failure to complete the clearance procedure within the prescribed period will render a successful examinee ineligible to participate in the oath-taking and roll-signing ceremonies.

The 2026 SSBE was conducted in four testing centers nationwide, with New Era University serving as the national headquarters.

Other testing sites were Mindanao State University–Iligan Institute of Technology, Ateneo de Davao University, and Ateneo de Zamboanga University.

This year's examinations covered four major subject areas: Jurisprudence (Fiqh) and Customary Laws (Adat); Persons, Family Relations and Property; Succession, Wills and Settlement of Estates; and Procedure in the Shari’ah Courts.

Earlier, the SC said the examination questions were based on laws, rules, and jurisprudence in force as of 8 August 2025. Examinees were allowed to answer either in English or Arabic.

Passing the Shari’ah Special Bar Examinations authorizes successful examinees to practice law before Shari’ah courts in the Philippines, which primarily serve Muslim communities across the country.
