Summary
Accusing or regarding Muslims as disbelievers, including UMNO members, leaders, government officers or PAS members and supporters, is forbidden. The person who does so must repent to Allah and stop immediately. Anyone who recites the two declarations of faith remains a Muslim unless declared an apostate by the Islamic religious authorities of Malaysia.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Sesiapa yang membuat tuduhan atau anggapan bahawa ahli-ahli UMNO, pemimpin atau pegawai Kerajaan atau sesiapa juga yang beragama Islam sebagai kafir, maka perbuatan itu adalah haram dan hendaklah bertaubat kepada Allah.
