Summary
The Penang Syar'iyyah Committee decided that Carlsberg's sponsorship should be rejected by SUKOM. The reasoning is that Carlsberg is a company connected with liquor, which does not promote human physical health but is instead the root of all vice. Liquor is forbidden in Islam, and wealth derived from it is not regarded as valued property (mutakawam) for Muslims.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
oleh itu penajaan Carlsberg patut ditolak oleh SUKOM.
