Summary
The 14th Muzakarah of the National Fatwa Committee, held on 22-23 October 1985, ruled that the Bahai teaching is not part of Islam. Muslims who become involved with it are considered apostates, and involvement is prohibited and forbidden. Those already involved must leave it immediately and repent.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Ajaran Bahai adalah bukan ajaran Islam. Umat Islam yang terlibat dengannya adalah murtad.
