Summary
This Selangor fatwa permits any organisation that intends to carry out Islamic programmes to use the word Islam in its name. The condition is that the use must not contradict the creed of Ahl al-Sunnah wa al-Jamaah and must be guided by knowledge, faith and ihsan. Anyone who uses the word to mislead the public or to commit deviation is in the wrong and contravenes the principles of Islamic law, and may face action under existing laws.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Hendaklah dibenarkan perkataan Islam digunapakai oleh manamana organisasi atau pertubuhan yang mahu melaksanakan program-program Islam selama mana ia tidak bercanggah dengan aqidah ahli As-Sunnah Wal-Jamaah dan berdisiplinkan Ilmu, Iman dan Ehsan.
