Summary
The Federal Territories Mufti Office considers Shell's withdrawal of the standees commendable because it closes the doors to slander and discord in society. Men are first expected to lower their gaze and guard their dignity, and molesting the standees is judged shameful and unbecoming of a Muslim. Women are advised to avoid matters that risk causing slander, and those who committed the act are advised to repent.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Justeru, kami melihat usaha Shell menarik kembali standee berkenaan wajar dipuji kerana ia menutup pintu-pintu fitnah dalam masyarakat.
