Summary
The Selangor Fatwa Committee ruled that the teachings, beliefs and ideology of SRC and its network of affiliated companies deviate from Islamic teachings, and that they amount to an effort to revive Al-Arqam, including by followers who operate behind economic activities. The Schedule lists teachings and practices that conflict with Islamic creed, Islamic law, and social ethics and morals, such as the claim that Ashaari Muhammad is the Sahibul Zaman, that Friday prayer is not obligatory, and that only three daily prayer times are required. The fatwa was prepared under sections 47 and 48 of the Administration of the Religion of Islam (State of Selangor) Enactment 2003, while subsection 50(1) is the basis for revoking the earlier fatwa published in Sel. P.U. 35 on 12 December 2006.
