Summary
The Perak Fatwa Committee adopted the decision of the 215th Muzakarah of the National Council for Islamic Affairs (MKI) and ruled that the liberal thought movement contains deviant beliefs in both creed and sharia. In creed, these include religious pluralism, the view that human reason is revelation, and doubt about the authenticity of the Quran. In sharia, they include questioning the methodology of interpreting the Quran and hadith, calling for new interpretations of worship, disputing the criteria and character of prophethood, and criticising established Islamic sciences.
