Summary
The Selangor State Fatwa Committee ruled that writing and publishing materials containing Quranic verses and hadith alongside the views of other religions such as Chinese religion, Buddhism, Hinduism, Sikhism and Christianity is prohibited. An exception applies if the Islamic views, Quranic verses and hadith are kept separate from the content of other religions. In addition, Islam must dominate the publication as a whole.
