Summary
A marriage performed by a general wali from Southern Thailand outside the area of his authorisation is invalid under Islamic law. The Ahmadiyya or Qadiani teaching brought by Mirza Ghulam Ahmad is not part of Islam, and its followers are not Muslims. It is forbidden and sinful for a Muslim to work as a Guest Relations Officer (GRO) in nightclubs, dangdut clubs, discos, karaoke outlets, pubs or similar venues.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Bahawa pernikahan atau perkahwinan orang Islam dengan menggunakan Wali Am dari Selatan Thailand yang dijalankan di luar kawasan tauliahnya adalah tidak sah mengikut hukum syarak.
