Summary

The Kelantan Council of Ulama met on 22 December 1996 to discuss five questions on current politics, including accusations of disbelief against party supporters and the ruling on changing parties. The meeting viewed the issues as arising from differences in party political ideology and noted that they had been raised before. The fatwas issued in 1963 and 1981 are to be referred to as guidance. A precise ruling would require a thorough study of party constitutions by qualified specialists.
