Declared deviant in Melaka

MELAKA: Melaka has become the fourth state to declare the beliefs and teachings of Global Ikhwan Service and Business Holdings (GISB) as deviant, after Perlis, Selangor and Pahang.

Melaka Mufti Datuk Abdul Halim Tawil said the decision was made during a special state fatwa committee meeting on Oct 3.

He added that the decision would be presented to the King soon.

“We have decided that GISB’s doctrine is contrary to syariah law.

“We are in the process of taking further action on the fatwa we have discussed, to be tabled in the council before proceeding with the gazette,” he said yesterday.
