Summary
This Bayan Linnas regards the blocking of the Hijrah Diri app as a result of the influence of secular human rights thinking, which stresses individual freedom while rejecting the spiritual dimension. In Islam, something false cannot be counted as a right, and a person's true right is to do what is correct in line with his innate nature. The public is urged to show solidarity with JAKIM by condemning the blocking, since being pleased with sin is itself regarded as sin. Da'wah through digital technology should continue, and more apps of this kind should be produced and supported.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Sesungguhnya reda dengan maksiat itu adalah sesuatu maksiat (الرِّضَا بِالمَعْصِيةِ مَعْصِيَةٌ).
