Summary
This Bayan Linnas regards the Malaysian government's willingness to accept 3000 Syrian refugees over three years as a noble attitude that shows concern for fellow Muslims affected by the crisis in Syria. The text also provides background on the Syrian conflict, the Prime Minister's speech at the United Nations and a resolution by a conference of scholars urging governments and organisations to help the Syrian people. The conflict is described as having cost many lives and turned a large part of the population into refugees. The Mufti's statement is cut off before its end, so further details cannot be given here.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Kesanggupan kerajaan Malaysia untuk menerima 3000 orang pelarian Syria dalam tempoh tiga tahun ini menunjukkan satu sikap yang mulia dengan mengambil peduli terhadap krisis yang menimpa saudara seagama kita di Syria.
