Summary
The Penang State Fatwa Committee ruled that the teaching and study methods of this institution are prohibited from being spread, as they contradict the proper way of acquiring knowledge and may lead to deviance. The university status must be removed from printed and circulated materials until approved by an accreditation body or the relevant authority. Academic titles such as Professor, Associate Professor and PhD must be removed from instructors and students. Using terms such as pledging allegiance (bai'ah) and dialoguing with Allah is also prohibited because it may confuse the public.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Kaedah pengajaran Universiti Antarabangsa Asmaul Husna adalah dilarang dari diajar dan disebarkan kepada masyarakat di Negeri Pulau Pinang.
