Summary
The Johor State Fatwa Committee ruled that believing such items bring benefit to their owners contradicts Islamic creed, law and ethics. Therefore using, wearing, selling, buying, writing, spreading, giving and keeping them is haram. Muslims are required to avoid these acts, and those already involved must repent promptly. This fatwa was not gazetted.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Oleh itu penggunaan, pemakaian, penjualan, pembelian, penulisan, penyebaran, pemberian dan penyimpanan adalah haram.
