Summary
The fatwa states that those who hold different views on acts of worship should respect one another. They are advised to avoid declaring each other's practices to be innovation (bid'ah). This serves as guidance for maintaining tolerance in disputed matters such as congregational supplication and dhikr after prayer.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Masing-masing menghormati antara satu sama lain dan hindarkan membid'ahkan satu sama lain.
