Summary
The Johor State Fatwa Committee was satisfied that the jade stones inscribed with the names of Allah and Muhammad contain pig images, while the prayer mats in question contain pig or dog images. It held that these images insult Allah, His Messenger and Muslims. All Muslims in Johor are forbidden from involvement with both items, including owning, displaying, selling, buying, using, keeping, promoting, marketing, importing, exporting, reprinting or copying them, giving moral or material support, and giving or receiving them as gifts.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Imej ini adalah menghina Allah dan rasulNya dan menghina umat islam dan penganutnya.
