Summary
This Perak fatwa rules that rejecting belief in punishment in the grave falls outside the true teachings of Islam. The ruling is based on the fact that punishment in the grave is established by evidence from the Quran, the Hadith and the consensus of scholars. Muslims are therefore prohibited from following teachings that deny it. The fatwa was issued in relation to Astora Jabat's writings on the subject.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Bahawa menolak kepercayaan azab kubur setelah wujud keterangan dari Al-Quran dan Al-Hadith serta Ijma" Ulama adalah terkeluar daripada ajaran Islam yang sebenar dan oleh itu orang Islam dilarang mengamalkan ajaran itu.
