Summary
The Kelantan Islamic Religious and Malay Customs Council ruled that the teachings of Awang Teh bin Kamal, known as Pak Teh Selamat, are deviant and misleading because they contradict Islam. The teachings include denying that the Quran comes from Allah, redefining hajj, fasting and zakat in deviant ways, forbidding the movements of the prayer, and the teacher's claim to be the Messenger of Allah. Any person or group that adopts, spreads or performs the same rites is likewise deemed deviant, and Muslims must avoid following, spreading or practising it.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Umat Islam hendaklah mengelakkan diri dari menganuti , menyebar atau beramal dengannya.
