Summary
The Johor State Fatwa Committee decided that this book is prohibited. Its content was judged to mainly reflect arguments of those holding Wahhabi views, especially on bid'ah, and its references were drawn from the same group. Wahhabi teachings have been declared contrary to the Ahli Sunnah Wal Jamaah creed followed in Johor. The book may not be distributed, sold, kept, published or reprinted in any form in Johor, and the decision has not been gazetted.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Justeru, buku ini dilarang dan tidak dibenarkan untuk diedar, dijual, disimpan, diterbitkan dan dicetak semula dalam apa jua bentuk di negeri Johor Darul Takzim.
