Summary
The Penang State Fatwa Committee ruled that the beliefs and views of Hizbur Tahrir are deviant, among other reasons because it declares the democratic parliamentary system to be unbelief, which conflicts with the country's political system. Its views are also stated to be inconsistent with Ahli Sunnah Wal Jamaah teachings and to resemble those of the Mu'tazilah, Qadariyah and Khawarij. The organisation is to be restricted and prohibited from carrying out its activities, and Muslims are to avoid involvement with it.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
pertubuhan dan kumpulan Hizbur Tahrir ini perlu disekat dan dilarang daripada menjalankan aktivitinya, serta orang Islam perlu mengelak diri daripada terlibat dengan kumpulan Hizbur Tahrir.
