Summary
The Federal Territories Syariah Legal Consultative Committee ruled that GISBH is a continuation of the al-Arqam group and Syarikat Rufaqa' Corporation, which had previously been declared deviant. The teachings and beliefs of GISBH and its followers are declared deviant from Islam, including claims about the Imam Mahdi, intercession, blessings from the leader's washing water, exploitation through the ma'ash economic system, and the practice of Aurad Muhammadiah. Anyone still holding to them must repent, and GISBH members are to attend rehabilitation programmes organised by the authorities.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Sesiapa yang masih berpegang atau mengamalkan ajaran dan amalan tersebut adalah sesat dan hendaklah bertaubat.
