Summary
The Johor Fatwa Committee ruled that using the Rouse and Last Post calls is permissible under Islamic law. The ruling rests on the finding that the calls contain no element of shirk or tasyabbuh and do not originate from Christian or Jewish religious practice. However, the committee stressed that sounds or music should not be used in the handling of Muslim funerals, whether in the military or elsewhere.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Harus menurut hukum syarak menggunakan tiupan Rouse dan Last Post kerana didapati ia tidak mengandungi unsure-unsur syirik, tasyabbuh dan tidak bersumberkan kepada amalan Agama Kristian atau Yahudi
