Summary
Studying the sciences of shariah, haqiqah, tariqah and marifah is permissible. It may become obligatory and fardu ain if it relates to the fundamentals of Islam. It is advised to learn from a skilled teacher who is learned in these sciences as a whole, not only in part, and to avoid deviant matters that contradict the creed.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Mempelajari ilmu-ilmu syariat, hakikat, tarekat dan makrifat adalah harus dan boleh jadi wajib serta fardu ain jika ia berkaitan dengan asas-asas Islam.
