Summary
This Bayan Linnas affirms that the Rohingya are an oppressed Muslim group and that helping them according to one's ability is a responsibility.

The text also cites news reports and statements by leaders and figures to show the seriousness of the issue.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Kami konsisten dengan pendirian kami bahawa etnik Rohingya ini adalah kelompok Muslim yang telah dizalimi dan menjadi tanggungjawab kita untuk membantu mereka mengikut kemampuan kita
