Summary
This fatwa prohibits several anti-hadith books and pamphlets, including works by Kassim Ahmad, Idris Abdul Rahman, Othman Ali and Rashad Khalifa, and the Iqra pamphlet published by Jemaah Al-Quran Malaysia, together with their contents and translations. These materials are judged to contain teachings contrary to Islamic creed and law, to confuse Muslims and to lead to apostasy. Any person or group holding these teachings is declared astray. The prohibition also covers variations or branches of the teachings and related publicity materials.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
