  • Impermissible to drink “Zero Alcoholic” Beer, Says Office Of the Mufti SG

    Impermissible to drink “Zero Alcoholic” Beer, Says Office Of the Mufti SG

    Can Muslims drink “0% alcohol” beer? The answer is NO. It is not permissible if it meets either or both the criteria below.

    1. The process of making the drink is similar to the process done to make alcoholic drinks.

    (Explanation: Products that contain zero alcohol or have its alcohol removed actually have similar manufacturing process as alcoholic beverages.)

    2. The product is marketed in a similar way to how alcoholic drinks are marketed.

    (Explanation: The products are also being marketed in a manner that is similar to alcoholic beverages – its packaging and etc. Islam takes a firm stand against products which are haram, or can lead to haram activities. Hence, for products that intentionally mimic haram products, extra precautionary measures must be taken in order to emphasize the prohibition of the original product, and the Islamic denunciation of such products.)

  • 6 Hal Yang Diharamkan Rasulullah, Kini Dianggap Biasa

    6 Hal Yang Diharamkan Rasulullah, Kini Dianggap Biasa

    Enam hal yang diharamkan Rasulullah dan kini mulai dianggap biasa oleh sekelompok orang adalah:

    1. Perzinaan
    Al Hir artinya adalah kemaluan wanita. Maksudnya, perzinaan. Perzinaan merupakan hal yang haram, bahkan mendekatinya pun dilarang. Namun di zaman sekarang, perzinaan dikemas dengan berbagai nama. Yang personal disebut selingkuh dan menjadi salah satu fenomena yang semakin mudah dibaca di berita-berita. Ada juga perzinaan yang difasilitasi dengan sebutan “komersial” dan difaslitasi dengan tempat mulai yang semi permanen hingga hotel berbintang.

    2. Kain sutera bagi laki-laki
    Laki-laki diharamkan memakai sutra. Namun tidak sedikit orang yang tidak mengetahui larangan ini dan tidak sedikit pula kaum laki-laki yang melanggarnya. Dengan alasan, sutra adalah kain yang menggambarkan kelas pemakainya.

    3. Khamr
    Khamr alias minuman keras kini juga dikemas dengan berbagai nama yang mentereng. Selain itu, di sejumlah tempat –termasuk di Indonesia- peredaran dan penjualan khamr juga dilegalkan. Seakan-akan khamr adalah sesuatu yang halal.

    4. Alat musik
    Ini yang paling banyak dianggap biasa oleh banyak umat Islam. Berbagai jenis musik kini tersedia dan setiap hari diputar di televisi, radio, juga alat audio yang lain. Secara rinci, Syaikh Yusuf Qardhawi memiliki penjelasan terkait musik atau nyanyian apa yang diharamkan dan yang bisa ditolerir kebolehannya. Misalnya musik yang bernada syahwat, membuat orang berjoget dan syairnya bathil, maka itu jelas haram. Sedangkan lagu-lagu atau nasyid yang menyemangati perjuangan dan berisi seruan dakwah, maka yang demikian dibolehkan.

    5. Seruling
    Ini lebih khusus dari sekedar alat musik. Suara seruling secara khusus disebutkan Rasulullah sebagai hal yang diharamkan sehingga tidak ada ulama’ terpercaya yang membolehkannya.

    6. Tangisan keras saat musibah
    Boleh berduka dan menangis saat tertimpa musibah, namun tidak diperbolehkan tangisan yang keras alias meraung-raung. Namun di zaman sekarang, tangisan keras seperti itu sering terjadi pada orang yang ditimpa musibah.

  • Haram For Muslims To Get Haircut From Non-Muslims, Says Religious Teacher

    Haram For Muslims To Get Haircut From Non-Muslims, Says Religious Teacher

    A RELIGIOUS teacher, who previously courted controversy by urging Muslims to boycott curry powder made by Hindus, says it is haram for Muslims to receive a haircut from non-Muslims.

    Ustaz Shahul Hamid Seeni Muhammad, headmaster of Maahad Tahfiz Darul Tahzhib, said in a video uploaded two years ago, which has since gone viral, that getting a haircut from non-Muslims was haram.

    “From the time I started studying in a pondok school to Form 1 and up until now, I have not allowed any non-believers to touch my head. It is better for us to go to Muslim shops because at least this way, we can help Muslim businesses,” Shahul Hamid said.

    Three years ago, also through a video a clip that went viral, Shahul Hamid urged Muslims not to buy curry powder products from “Hindu” companies like Baba’s and Alagappa’s. He also poked fun at a dishti bomma, a square metal plate with the face of a “fearsome demon” on it, at the entrance of the Alagappa’s flour mill near Permatang Pauh.

    In the haircut video clip, which has been viewed more than 9,000 times, Shahul Hamid also said it was haram for Muslim women to go to a non-Muslim salon, as a woman’s hair was considered aurat and should not be exposed to non-Muslims, even if they are women.

    Shahul Hamid also made a jab at transgenders working at salons by mimicking their voices, which he said sounded like frogs.

    Shahul Hamid, who has uploaded a series of video clips on YouTube, also said it was haram to send Muslim children to Chinese schools, unless there were no other options.

    “But when your child comes back, he must be taught properly. Why? Because Chinese children don’t follow the Islamic way of life.”

    He said it was also haram to wish Happy Birthday or Sanah Helwah in Arabic and that Muslims should use “assalamualaikum” when answering calls instead of “hello” and “goodbye”.

  • Tampines Pork-Throwing Neighbour Still Terrorising Widow Despite Court Action

    Tampines Pork-Throwing Neighbour Still Terrorising Widow Despite Court Action

    Marliah Jonet, a 62 year-old widow, has faced daily harassment from a neighbor, 63 year-old Lee Dji Lin, however there appears to be nothing the authorities can do about the belligerent neighbor, who was diagnosed with a psychiatric disorder.

    According to Marliah, she has called the police to her flat over 6 times this month alone at Block 247, Tampines Street 21, but the situation has not improved. Even a district judge’s 2 year mandatory treatment order has not helped. Lee had been sentenced to mandatory treatment in June by a District Judge after Lee had been caught for throwing pork at another Malay neighbor in Tampines. Lee, who lives directly below Marliah’s unit, was charged for wounding the religious and racial feelings of her neighbor and harassment.

    Now that the court case is over, Lee has returned to her usual abusive ways. She shouts out insults in a mixture of English, Malay and Hokkien several times a day at Marliah. She has even hit hard at Marliah’s own personal tragedy, calling Marliah “a Satan who ate her husband and duaghter”. Marliah lost her daughter to a virus in 2006 while her husband died of a heart attack in 2012.

    Lee has also shouted insults claiming that Marliah is “bored and whoever wants to have fun (with Marliah) can do it for free”.

    Reporters who staked out at Marliah’s house have attested that Lee would suddenly start shouting the insults intermittently throughout the time they were there. When reporters approached Lee’s gate, the woman refused to come out and speak with them.

    Marliah is not Lee’s only victim. A Chinese family who used to live in the unit opposite of Lee moved out after she destroyed their altar and threw a chopper at the corridor outside their unit a few years ago.

    “She took a broomstick and hit their altar until it was destroyed. They were my friends (for a long time)…we were among the first to move into this block. But because of her, they had to move away,” one neighbor lamented.

    Another neighbour, who is a property agent, said, “She fought with the (Chinese) neighbour almost everyday. She also once took a chopper and threw it outside the neighbour’s place.” The agent spoke on the condition of anonymity for fear of facing trouble from Lee.

    “She also threw urine and water from her kitchen, and no one dared to hang out their clothes. When she was away in the IMH (Institute of Mental Health), everyone dared to hang out their clothes.”

    Another neighbor, who said she enjoyed an amicable relationship with Lee’s family in the past, said that Lee turned nasty when their family was seen speaking to the police, who were interviewing neighbors over the pork throwing incident. Since then, Lee has been pouring dirty water at their doorstep and shouting at her children. Lee has even made a false report to the residents’ committee that the family were illegal tenants.

    Complaints made by all the neighbors affected by Lee to the Housing & Development Board and the police have fallen on deaf ears.

    “This is harassment and I’ve suffered for seven long years. How can anyone take this? It hurts a lot when she brings up my husband and my second daughter. It took me three years of crying to get over her,” Marliah told police officers who arrived to settle yet another disturbance from Lee in the presence of reporters. She burst into tears as she spoke.
