points of honour for the Muslim ummah.
However, it must be carried out with due
consideration of the maqasid syar‘iah 2 and
after weighing its positive and negative
outcomes based on established principles.
For instance, Da’wah cannot be implemented

7. In matters related to fiqh, we recognise
Hanafi, Maliki, Asy-Syafi’i and Hanbali as
schools of thought that may be practised by
Muslims in Singapore. Similarly we recognise
the views of the respected and mujtahid
ulama of the Ahlus Sunnah Wal Jemaah.

recognise the views and the principles of
the Salaf. We also acknowledge the mazhab
of Abu Musa Al-Asy’ari and Abu Mansur
Al-Maturidi as part of Ahlus Sunnah Wal
Jemaah.

ibadah and social relationships which are
not supported by qat’ii nas, it is acceptable
to have khilaf.
10 Khilaf in matters not supported by nas
may be accepted, as long as such views are
supported by evidence that are consistent
with Usul Fiqh. The type of khilaf that
cannot be accepted are those that do not go
