Summary
This Bayan Linnas states that an issue such as the 1MDB controversy must be resolved internally by the country itself. General accusations without clear facts contradict the Islamic principle that the one who makes a claim must bring evidence. The Mufti cites the fall of Baghdad in 658 AH as a reminder of the consequences of interference and betrayal. He calls on Malaysians, especially Muslims, to unite in defending the country.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
