The 11 fatwas issued by MUI

The 11 fatwas issued by MUI

1. Religious teachings influenced by pluralism, liberalism and
secularism are against Islam. The fatwa states that Muslims must
consider their religion to be the true one religion, and to
consider other faiths as wrong.

2. Ahmadiyah, an Islamic group that does not recognize Muhammad
as the last prophet, is a heretical sect, and its followers are
murtad (apostate).

3. Mixed marriages between people of different faiths are haram
(forbidden under Islamic law).

4. Women are forbidden from leading prayers when men are present
in the congregation. Women are only allowed to lead prayers in an
all-female assemblage.

5. Joint prayers performed with people of other faiths are not
recognized in Islam. Saying "Amen" to prayers led by a non-Muslim
is haram.

6. Islamic law on inheritance is not applicable for non-Muslim
family members.

7. Islam recognizes capital punishment for serious criminal
offenses and the state can apply such punishments in the
judiciary system.

8. Engaging, believing and practicing in shamanism and
fortunetelling are forbidden. The publication and dissemination
of these practices, such as through television shows, are also
considered haram.

9. Determining goodness for the public under sharia must not
violate Islamic texts, and the only institutions that have the
right to determine such goodness are those possessing sharia
competence.

10. Any violation of intellectual property rights (HKI) is haram.
HKIs that are protected under Islamic law are those that do not
go against sharia.

personal property arbitrarily or by coercion.
