Summary
This fatwa treats the matter as a doubtful issue (syubhah), where the line between lawful and unlawful is unclear. From the standpoint of scrupulousness (wara'), it is better to avoid it, though scholars differ on the general ruling. The view preferred is to stay away from doubtful matters, citing the hadith to leave what causes doubt for what does not.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Dari segi wara'nya, lebih baik untuk dielakkan namun dari segi keumumannya, ia menjadi khilaf di kalangan para ulama.
