Summary
The Sabah State Fatwa Council resolved that Muslims must hold to Ahli Sunnah wal Jamaah in three areas. Creed follows Imam Abu Hassan al-Ash'ari and Imam Abu Mansur al-Maturidi, jurisprudence follows the Shafi'i school while respecting the Hanafi, Maliki and Hanbali schools, and Sufism follows reputable Sufi methods such as those of Imam Junaid al-Baghdadi and Imam al-Ghazali. Muslims, individually or in groups, who practise beliefs outside these three matters commit an offence and may face action under the Sabah Syariah Criminal Offences Enactment 1995 or other laws in force.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Fiqh dan Syariah, berdasarkan Mazhab Syafi'i di samping meraikan mazhab Hanafi, Maliki, Hanbali dan pandangan Imam-imam muktabar yang lain.
