Summary
The Sarawak State Fatwa Board resolved that all Shia sects are not acceptable for practice by Muslims in Sarawak. Muslims in the state are to follow Islamic teachings based on the Ahli Sunnah Wal Jamaah in creed, sharia and ethics. The spread of any teaching differing from this position, including publishing books, pamphlets, films and videos on it, is prohibited. The decision also supports legal amendments, a control committee and intensified da'wah.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Semua mazhab Syiah dari golongan apa pun tidak boleh diterima untuk diamalkan oleh orang Islam di Sarawak.
