Summary
This Bayan Linnas stresses that Muslims should show concern and extend help to fellow Muslims, including the Rohingya refugees who are oppressed in Myanmar. The Rohingya are described as refugees, not illegal immigrants. The encouragement to help rests on the Quranic command to cooperate in goodness and on the hadith in Sahih Muslim about helping fellow believers. The hadith about not caring for the affairs of Muslims is cited with a note that it is very weak.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Keprihatinan, nilai kasih sayang dan bantuan yang dihulurkan adalah ubat yang terbaik dalam kita mendepani isu yang besar ini.
