MOHON SEMAKAN LAFAZ ZIKIR
Is the wording of the dhikr submitted for review contrary to Islamic law, and how should group dhikr be conducted?
Short answer
The Johor Fatwa Committee decided that the reviewed dhikr does not contradict Sharia, as all of it is taken from Quranic verses and is a recognised (mu'tabar) dhikr.

Summary
The Johor Fatwa Committee decided that the reviewed dhikr does not contradict Sharia, as all of it is taken from Quranic verses and is a recognised (mu'tabar) dhikr. The public is advised to perform group dhikr together with recognised dhikr groups, such as the Naqshabandiah, Khaujakan and Asmaul Husna dhikr, at a mosque or surau. This decision was not gazetted.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Zikir yang di lakukan tidak bertentangan dengan syara' kerana kesemua zikir tersebut di ambil daripada ayat – ayat Al – Quran Al – Karim dan ia adalah zikir yang mu'tabar.
