Summary
The Johor state fatwa rules that it is permissible to give non-Muslims the opportunity to undertake Islamic studies. The permission is based on the jurisprudence of da'wah (Fiqh Dakwah). The hope is that through this opportunity the applicant will receive guidance and success from Allah. The decision was made on 18 February 2015 and has not been gazetted.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Harus menurut hukum syara' memberi peluang orang bukan Islam mengikuti pengajian Islam berdasarkan Fiqh Dakwah
