Summary
Selling buluh perindu is prohibited if it is intended for matters involving shirk, such as a charm to boost business or bring luck, whether sold online or in the traditional way. The ruling rests on the prohibition of trading in items tied to shirk that have no permissible benefit. If it is sold for other purposes such as a flute or decoration, the sale is permissible.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Haram menjual buluh perindu secara atas talian atau tradisional sekiranya buluh perindu itu tujuannya adalah untuk perkara yang berunsur syirik seperti sebagai pelaris.
