Summary
The 75th Muzakarah of the National Fatwa Committee (12 September 2006) resolved that the teachings of Rufaqa Corporation members and its affiliated companies resemble those of the banned al-Arqam group. The teachings were found to deviate from Islam. The deviations cover matters contrary to Ahli Sunnah Wal Jamaah creed, Islamic law, and social ethics and morals. Examples include beliefs about Haji Ashaari as Sahibul Zaman who receives knowledge directly from God, and the view that Friday prayer is not obligatory.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
