Summary
The Selangor State Fatwa Committee resolved that Islam does not compromise with anyone who insults religion, whether the religion insulted is Islam or another faith. The name Allah may only be used for Allah SWT, preserving His honour and exalted status. In line with Islam's position as the religion of the Federation under the Constitution, Islam must be upheld, and any insult or act that belittles Islam is strictly prohibited as it may cause religious disharmony.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Islam merupakan agama yang tidak akan berkompromi sama sekali dengan mana-mana pihak yang menghina agama tanpa mengambil kira sama ada agama yang dihina itu adalah Islam atau selainnya.
