Summary
The Johor State Fatwa Committee found no strong argument to prohibit publication of this book. However, it held that the book ought not to have been published, since a sincere and honest rebuke should be delivered privately to the mufti concerned rather than presented to the public. Publication may shame a mufti who holds an honoured position in society, and the committee cited a hadith urging mention of the good deeds of the deceased and restraint from speaking of their faults.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Jawatankuasa Fatwa mendapati bahawa tidak ada satu hujah yang kukuh untuk mengharamkan penerbitan buku tersebut.
