Summary
The Johor Fatwa Committee ruled that the book Aurad Muhammad by Haji Ashari bin Mohamad is prohibited from being owned, kept, published, distributed, sold or read. The book is said to contain beliefs and teachings contrary to Islamic law and to be highly misleading, including a mixing of Quranic verses with non-Quranic text on pages 65 and 66. The committee also urged the authorities to prohibit and prevent the Al Arqam group from giving talks, teaching, education and other related activities. This fatwa was not gazetted.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
