Summary
The Negeri Sembilan Fatwa Committee adopted the National Fatwa Council decision that trading in and exploiting human beings in any form contrary to Islamic law is prohibited. The ruling is based on the view that humans are honoured by Allah SWT and were not created to be enslaved by other humans. Exploitation such as prostitution and slavery is regarded as contrary to human dignity and the concept of khalifah.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Sehubungan itu, Muzakarah bersetuju memutuskan bahawa hukum memperdagang dan mengeksploitasikan manusia dalam pelbagai bentuk yang menyalahi hukum syarak adalah diharamkan oleh Islam.
