Summary

The prohibition covers any variation or branch of these teachings and related publicity materials. Muslims are forbidden to practise them, become members, lead, give talks, or run classes and activities to spread them. They are also forbidden to own, keep, print, sell or distribute related publications, or use symbols linking the teachings to Islam.
