Summary
The Johor State Fatwa Committee sets several criteria so that a Muslim's attendance at non-Muslim celebrations does not conflict with Islamic teachings. The event must not involve rituals contrary to Islamic faith, acts contrary to Islamic law, acts that conflict with the morals and culture of the Muslim community, or matters that offend Muslim sensitivities. Organisers and the public are also asked to seek the views of the religious authorities before organising or attending such events.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
