Summary
The Johor State Fatwa Committee ruled that Muslim women's participation in events involving public exposure, such as fashion shows and beauty pageants, degrades the dignity of women. Participation, organising, sponsoring, supplying clothing for such events and anything else that helps make them succeed are haram. The reasons given include the prohibition of tabarruj, the principle of blocking the means to harm (sadd al-dhara'i), the duty to preserve dignity, the prohibition of imitating non-Muslim ways of life, and the blameworthy traits and harms arising from such events.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Oleh itu, penglibatan wanita muslimah, penganjuran, penajaan, pembekalan pakaian-pakaian untuk acara tersebut serta apa-apa jua perkara yang boleh menjayakan program tersebut adalah haram menurut hukum syara' dan ditegah.
