Summary
The Johor State Fatwa Committee ruled that the beliefs, teachings and practices of Ayah Pin are false, deviant and astray, and contrary to Islamic creed, law and morals. Reasons include insulting Allah, the Prophet and the pillars of Islam, claiming the Day of Judgement will not occur, claiming the five daily prayers are not obligatory and that the pilgrimage is futile, and promoting the unity of religions. Muslims in the state are prohibited from believing in, practising, teaching or spreading the teachings, holding related activities, receiving visits, or giving moral or material support. The fatwa was not gazetted.
