Summary
The Johor State Fatwa Committee unanimously retained the Shia fatwa gazetted on 9 October 2014, with no exemption for researchers. Among its reasons, an exemption could open the way for Shia teachings to spread because adherents practise taqiyyah, and the ruling blocks avenues of spread (saddul zaraik). Individuals or organisations wishing to conduct research and keep Shia books must apply for permission from the Johor Mufti Department.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Jika seseorang individu atau organisasi yang ingin membuat kajian berkenaan fahaman syiah, mereka perlu memohon kebenaran kepada Jabatan Mufti Johor bagi membuat kajian dan memiliki buku-buku syiah.
