Summary
The Sabah Fatwa Council ruled that the Wahhabi school and its propagation contradict the Ahl al-Sunnah wal-Jamaah creed of the Ash'ari and Maturidi schools. The ruling covers Muslims, individually or in groups, who spread it, who become members or followers of it, or who spread it through organisations or associations with similar elements, including those hiding behind names or economic, business, educational or arts activities. Any variant or new teaching resembling it also contradicts that creed, and publicity materials promoting its figures and propagation are prohibited. Muslims involved may face action under the Sabah Syariah Criminal Offences Enactment 1995 or other applicable laws.
