Summary
The Johor Fatwa Committee confirmed that the word WE on Miniso Bare Bears products resembles the word Allah. It also believed the design contains an element of insult to the word that could offend Muslims. The sale and use of all products bearing WE BARE BEARS are prohibited in Johor, and the authorities are asked to stop and withdraw them from the market. The decision was not gazetted.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Justeru itu, semua barangan yang tertera perkataan WE BARE BEARS ini adalah dilarang penjualannya dan penggunaannya di Negeri Johor Darul Takzim.
