Al-Azhar university which is one of the famous ones related to Sunnis mentions against this deviant group which has raged against the religion of God and public donors of community and wants them to execute God’s commandment concerning this group and to pass rules and laws to discredit and disgrace them. This measure must be conducted to preserve citizens and to prevent their deviation and apostasy. Certainly, it is necessary for those who destroy the Islamic policies and the country ones not to allow them to be alive.
…These issues need to be answered quickly by people in charge of religious affairs and jurisconsults.

He expressed in Sep. 1949 A.D.: “Baha’ism is a cult whose principles are contrary to the Islamic ones and the divine religions. A Muslim woman cannot get married with a Baha’i man. If she gets married, their marriage will be false and null. A Muslim who becomes Baha’i is apostate and getting married with a Baha’i woman will be false.”

Islamic Jurisprudence Council
By issuing a declaration about Baha’ism, he has pointed out sensitive and important points including: “The anti-Islamic dimension of the Baha’i ideology, especially Babism, is clear to the Council of the Islamic Jurisprudence. Therefore, the members of the Council unanimously declared the atheistic nature of Babism and Baha’ism and considers this religion in open war against Islam [and therefore] considers the followers of this religion to be warlike infidels. This parliament considers it necessary to warn all the Muslims of the world against this criminal group and invite them to resist against the followers of this false religion. He also asks Muslims to be aware of the conspiracy of the imperialist countries, which support Baha’ism in sowing seeds of disunity among Muslims and ultimately attacking Islam.

Sheikh Abu Zohreh – prominent Egyptian mufti
In the book “the history of Islamic cults”, he describes Baha’ism as follows: “It is an eclecticism that is far from the ideology of Islam.” The same person declared in 1971 A.D.: “If a Muslim becomes a Baha’i, he is an apostate and the sentence of apostasy must apply to him, his marriage is null and void, regardless of whether his/her spouse is a Baha’i or not?”
Assembly of jurists of Egypt
In the continuation of the decisions of the 4th Assembly of jurists of Egypt regarding Baha’ism, it is said: “Praise be to God who is unique and peace be upon his prophet who will not be sent another prophet after him. The Council of Jurists conducted studies on Baha’ism, which emerged in Iran in the second half of the last century and currently has scattered followers in Islamic countries. This council also reviewed the research works done by many scientists and writers and those who are concerned with the true nature of this cult and the causes of its emergence and those who are interested in the biography of the founder of Baha’ism – Mirza Hossein Ali Nouri – born on November 12, 1817 and his successors, his son Abbas Effendi known as Abdu’l-Baha …
After a long discussion, the Council finally came to the following conclusion: “Baha’ism is a creed that was recently invented, its basis is based on another new cult founded by a person named Bab-Ali Muhammad – born in October 1819 – in Shiraz city. At first, this person – Bab – had tendencies towards Sufi, but later, at the instigation of his misguided leader, Kazem Rashti, who claimed to have the qualities of angels, he started a new heresy. At first, Ali Muhammad made such a claim like his leader, but after some time he separated from Kazem Rashti and claimed that he is like Imam Ali bin Abi Talib (peace be upon him).
Ali Al-Mansour- Advisor to the Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Council of Egyptian Ambassadors Court
On page 41, the author of the book “Studies on Babism and Baha’ism” quotes Ali Al-Mansour’s opinion as follows: “Baha’ism is one of the innovative cults that Islam has declared apostate, and its followers are apostates, and its subject is apostasy.”
Al-Azhar University’s Religious Rulings Committee, which is a group of experts on religious rulings, ruled: “The Baha’i faith is invalid and has nothing to do with Islam. Any Muslim who becomes a Baha’i is an apostate and an infidel.”
Sheikh Jadud Hagh Ala Jadul Hagh- another mufti from Al-Azhar
Sheikh Jadud Hagh Ala Jadul Hagh who is one of the most famous Al-Azhar Sheikhs says: “Baha’ism is a null religion. Not only it rejects Islam, but also there isn’t any relationship between Christianity, Judaism and it. Baha’ism is a group which obeys international Zionism. It has been commissioned to fulfill its thuggish plans in Arabic and Islamic countries. Its clear reason is accepting Heifa as the Baha’is Kibbla.”
Sheikh Muhammd Tantavvi (Al_Azhar Sheikh):
He has emphasized that: “The Baha’is of Egypt are out of Islam domain and the teachings of other divine religions. This deviant group mustn’t inject their poison into the Islamic community. Baha’is is completely against Islam and it isn’t true for Baha’ism to be considered as a religion because Baha’ism is out of Islam territory and the teachings of other divine religions…”
Muhammad Rashid Reza, the Islamic thinker of Egypt and the editor-in-chief of Manarul Islam periodical
“Baha’ism was formed based on Babism whose bases are false. Consequently, how is it possible to expect Muslim to accept Babism and Baha’ism while it attributes the divine specification to human beings like Christianity.” He adduces Seyyed Jamaluddin Asad Abadi’s comment and says: “Baha’ism is one of the dangerous religions possessing anti-Islamic philosophy. It is a cult into which Judaism plays a key role in 1842 A.D., the Babis announced their separation from Islam and Started fighting against Islam and the Arabic language “The weekly periodical” Manarul Islam, 343.7, /199).
