Summary
The Mufti of Penang ruled that this teaching deviates from true Islamic teachings. Muslims are prohibited from practising it and may face legal action if they do. Its features include surrendering oneself and one's property to the group's leader, denying the need to pray, rejecting the Isra and Miraj hadiths, regarding the Quran as man-made, and permitting adultery through spiritual marriage. Those who teach, practise or spread it must repent, and the teaching contradicts the Ahl Sunnah Wal Jamaah creed.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
