The Tokyo District Court issued a dissolution order last month for the Japanese chapter of the Unification Church, saying it had caused “unprecedented damage” to society.
It has also been blamed for child neglect among its members, although it has denied any wrongdoing.
The order “is not acceptable”, he said.
The alleged assassin is 44-year-old Tetsuya Yamagami whose family reportedly went bankrupt after his mother donated around 100 million yen ($1 million at the time) to the sect.
The government sought permission from the courts in 2023 to have the group legally disbanded.
However, the group, officially the Family Federation for World Peace and Unification, will still be able to continue religious practices.
The Church rose to global prominence in the 1970s and 80s after its foundation in 1954, becoming famous for mass weddings often held in stadiums.
Since Abe's murder, the Church has pledged to prevent “excessive” member donations.
