Summary
The Johor Fatwa Committee agreed with the 1996 fatwa decision and added the word Syiah to item 5. Muslims in Malaysia are to follow Islamic teachings based on Ahli Sunnah Wal Jamaah in creed, sharia and ethics. Teachings other than this position, including Syiah, are stated to contradict Islamic law and their propagation is prohibited. The 1984 decision accepting the Zaidiyyah and Jafariyyah Syiah schools was revoked, and publishing or spreading materials contrary to Ahli Sunnah Wal Jamaah was declared haram.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Menetapkan bahawa umat islam di Malaysia hendaklah hanya mengikut ajaran islam yang berasakan pegangan Ahli Sunnah Wal Jamaah dari segi akidah,Syariah dan akhlak.
