Summary
The Johor Fatwa Committee ruled that the Wahhabi ideology contradicts the Ahl al-Sunnah wal Jamaah creed and must be prevented from spreading in Johor. The fatwa lists its characteristics in creed, alleged innovation and extreme attitudes, and prohibits Muslims from following it, teaching or organising related gatherings, spreading or possessing related materials, and assisting its adherents. Violations are offences that may be prosecuted under the laws in force in Johor.
