Summary
The Johor Fatwa Committee ruled that the YAYI teaching, founded by Farida Binti Jayus, is deviant and contrary to Islam. Its deviations include claiming to be God and regarding Allah as having a wife and children, preventing followers from practising the pillars of Islam properly, ordering followers to leave spouses who refuse to follow the teaching, and practising sorcery to subdue spouses. The teaching is to be curbed and banned in Johor, and Muslims are prohibited from adhering to, believing in, spreading or practising it, or seeking medical treatment from it. Those already involved must repent.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
