Summary
The Selangor Fatwa Committee held that condoms should not be sold openly in public places. Sales should be controlled, for example through written permission from a doctor, sale only at designated places and an age limit for buyers. The objection to open sale is stronger where the packaging shows arousing images. These rules are meant to prevent misuse.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Janganlah dijual secara terbuka di tempat-tempat awam lebih-lebih lagi kotak pembungkus kondom itu mempamerkan gambar yang mengghairahkan.
