Summary
The Sarawak State Fatwa Council ruled that all Shia schools of thought cannot be accepted for practice by Muslims in Sarawak. Muslims in the state are to follow only Islamic teachings based on the Ahli Sunnah Wal Jamaah in creed, law and ethics. The spread of teachings that differ from this position is prohibited, including the publication, broadcast and distribution of books, pamphlets, films and videos on them. The Council also proposed aligning the definition of Hukum Syarak, forming a control committee, and strengthening da'wah and public explanation.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Semua mazhab Syiah dari golongan apapun tidak boleh diterima untuk diamalkan oleh orang Islam di Sarawak.
