Summary

The ruling on dubmash depends on the intention and the manner in which it is presented. It can be forbidden or permissible depending on the circumstances. Even so, the fatwa advises that it be avoided because it is no longer the true reality of a thing and its actual practice.

Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.

Dalam isu ini, ia bergantung kepada niat serta cara penyampaian aksi "dubmash". Boleh jadi haram dan boleh jadi halal.
