Summary
This Bayan Linnas states that the S-Line trend is a form of normalising sin and exposing private shame, which conflicts with Islamic teachings. Merely liking the spread of indecency among believers already falls under the warning of a painful punishment in Surah an-Nur verse 19, and actually spreading it is graver. Openly normalising sin, whether by heartfelt approval or by action, is regarded as a dangerous moral and faith-related offence. The statement also stresses that losing modesty undermines piety.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Niat seperti ini sudah memadai untuk dikenakan hukuman, sama ada di dunia melalui pelaksanaan had qazaf, mahupun di akhirat dengan azab yang lebih berat.
