Summary
The Penang State Mufti's fatwa (2010) declares the book Ulul Albab contrary to and deviating from the Ahli Sunnah Wal Jama'ah creed, and a threat to the unity of the ummah and national security. Its teachings and practices are to be curbed from spreading in the state, citing reasons such as accusing the Quran's scribes of altering verses, demeaning the Uthmani script mushaf and making accusations against scholars. Muslims are forbidden to teach, practise or spread its content, or to publish it or any translation in any form, and may face legal action.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Mana-mana orang Islam yang berpegang kepada fahaman dan amalan kandungan tersebut adalah dilarang sama sekali dan boleh dikenakan tindakan undang-undang kerana ia adalah salah dan sesat
