Summary
The Council of Ulama of the Kelantan Islamic Religious and Malay Customs Council ruled that these teachings, beliefs and ideas deviate from Islam, including for those directly involved in SRC and its affiliated companies. The deviations are described as contradicting Ahli Sunnah Wal Jamaah creed, Islamic law, and social ethics and morals. Examples include the belief that Haji Ashaari is the Sahibul Zaman, that his thoughts are equal to revelation, that Friday prayer is not obligatory and that only three prayer times are required daily. On this basis, the teachings were declared prohibited and the fatwa was gazetted.
