Summary

The Johor State Fatwa Committee decided that the book Pengertian Solat dalam Islam, written by Ustaz Zulkarnain Hamzah and Ustaz Haji Latif Haji Muhammad, is prohibited in Johor. The reasons include that it does not state which school of law it follows, many points do not accord with the Shafie school practised in Johor, it contains many confusions, it is carelessly written and it rejects tawassul. The book may not be distributed, sold, kept, published or reprinted in any form. The decision has not been gazetted.

Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.

Justeru buku ini dilarang dan tidak dibenarkan untuk diedar, dijual, disimpan, diterbitkan dan dicetak semula dalam apa jua bentuk di negeri Johor Darul Takzim.
