Summary
Placing stickers on a vehicle that show images of the genitalia or obscene symbols is forbidden in Islam. The fatwa regards it as contrary to modesty (haya'), as a form of fahisha (indecency), and as opposed to the higher objectives of the Shariah. It applies even if the image is only a sketch or symbol, or is meant as humour or art, because it can arouse desire, normalise obscenity, set a bad example for children and disturb other road users. The fatwa also urges the authorities to act against obscene material and stresses education.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Meletakkan pelekat (sticker) pada kenderaan yang memaparkan gambar anggota kemaluan atau simbol lucah adalah diharamkan dalam Islam.
