Summary
The Negeri Sembilan Special Fatwa Committee resolved that zikir and selawat audio is not permitted in fitness activities such as aerobics. The reasons given are that zikir is a symbol of Islam with its own proper etiquette, and that the ruling avoids slander and accusations against religious institutions and Islam itself. Qasidah or religious songs such as nasyid are permitted as an alternative, provided proper etiquette is observed.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
