This fatwa acknowledges that in certain regions of Indonesia there are religious streams that do not acknowledge the hadith of the Prophet Muhammad SAW as a source of Islamic shari'a law. Such streams include that espoused by Irham Sutarto (employee of PT Unilever Indonesia in Jakarta).
The fatwa states that a religious stream that does not consider the hadith of the Prophet Muhammad SAW to be a source of Islamic shari'a law is misled and misleading, and exists outside the Islamic faith. The fatwa also directs those following such streams, whether they are aware or not, to repent immediately, and for the government to place a prohibition on such streams.
