Summary
The 74th Muzakarah of the National Fatwa Committee (25-27 July 2006) ruled that the liberal school of thought is a deviant teaching that departs from Islamic law. The ruling rests on beliefs found to be deviant in creed, namely religious pluralism, treating human reason as revelation, and doubting the authenticity of the Quran. In matters of sharia, the movement questions the methods of interpreting the Quran and Hadith, calls for new interpretations of acts of worship, disputes the attributes of prophethood, criticises established Islamic sciences, and judges rulings by their purpose rather than their form.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Berdasarkan kepada ciri-ciri penyelewengan tersebut, Muzakarah memutuskan bahawa Aliran Pemikiran Liberal adalah ajaran sesat dan menyeleweng daripada Syariat Islam.
