Summary
The Johor State Fatwa Committee decided that the earlier fatwa does not require reexamination or further study. The fatwa rests on the Quranic verse on cooperating in righteousness and piety and not in sin and aggression. The ruling applies only to the party that made the inquiry, namely UTM alone.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Bahawa ianya tidak memerlukan penelitian dan kajian semula kerana Fatwa yang diputuskan itu berdasarkan ayat
