Summary
The Sabah State Fatwa Council ruled that the teachings, practices and beliefs of GISBH members and its affiliated companies deviate from Islam. The deviations cover creed, sharia and economic dealings, including belief in the hidden Abuya, the claim that Friday prayer is not obligatory, and exploitation of members. Publicity material promoting these teachings is prohibited, and members must repent and abandon them immediately. Offenders may be prosecuted under the Syariah Criminal Offences Enactment 1995 or other applicable written laws in Sabah.
