Summary
The Perak State Fatwa Committee held that Hidayah al-Salikin contains no specific discussion of Wahdah al-Wujud. This view rests on the endorsement of the teachers who teach the work, the fact that the book is meant for beginners (mubtadi') while Wahdah al-Wujud concerns advanced practitioners (muntahi), and the fact that Syeikh Wan Saghir did not discuss it when defending the book from accusations. The fatwa also states that the concept is clearly distinct from Wahdah al-Mutlaqah, al-Hulul and al-Ittihad.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
