Summary
The Penang State Fatwa Committee meeting No. 6/2014 accepted a research report by Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia and endorsed that Ahli Sunnah Wal Jamaah is the official school of thought of Malaysia in legal terms. It stated that the Shia and Salafi Wahabi movements are presently posing a serious threat to the survival of Ahli Sunnah Wal Jamaah. The findings describe Salafi Wahabi as out of line with the mainstream majority, including on the threefold concept of Tauhid, while Shia teachings are said to be fundamentally opposed to Ahli Sunnah Wal Jamaah beliefs. Both movements are judged capable of causing discord and division among Muslims in Malaysia.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Kedua-dua aliran pemikiran ini boleh mendatangkan perbalahan dan perpecahan kepada masyarakat Islam di Malaysia.
