Summary
The Penang Syariah Committee ruled that Carlsberg's sponsorship should be rejected by SUKOM. The reason given is that the company involves liquor, which is forbidden in Islam and does not promote human health. Wealth derived from liquor is also not regarded as valuable property (harta mutakawam) for Muslims.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Oleh itu penajaan Carlsberg patut ditolak oleh SUKOM
