Summary
The Sarawak State Fatwa Board resolved that liberal thought is a deviant teaching that departs from Islamic law. The fatwa states that it deviates in matters of creed, including adherence to religious pluralism, treating human reason as revelation, and doubting the authenticity of the Quran. In matters of sharia, it questions the methods of interpreting the Quran and Hadith, reinterprets the concept of worship, disputes the attributes of prophethood, criticises the 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.
Aliran pemikiran liberal adalah ajaran sesat dan menyeleweng daripada syariat Islam.
