  • Isu Ayam Tak Sembelih Di Tesco Setia Alam, JAKIM Beri Penjelasan

    Isu Ayam Tak Sembelih Di Tesco Setia Alam, JAKIM Beri Penjelasan

    Isu mengenai ayam dibeli tidak disembelih walaupun ia dilabel halal mencetuskan kekecohan di laman sosial Facebook beberapa hari lalu.

    Seorang lelaki dikatakan membeli beberapa ekor ayam di Tesco Setia Alam terkejut apabila mendapati ayam dibelinya tidak mempunyai tanda-tanda telah disembelih.

    Lelaki tersebut dikenali sebagai Ismadi Zahari memuatnaik video ringkas mengenai isu tersebut di akaun miliknya.

    “Tidak ada kesan sembelih melainkan kepalanya ditarik,” ujarnya sambil mempersoalkan bagaimana ayam itu disembelih tanpa mempunyai kesan.

    Susulan itu, Jabatan Kemajuan Islam Malaysia (JAKIM) membuat kenyataan bahawa proses penyembelihan ayam sebenarnya terlindung akibat tindakan menarik kepala ayam.

    Berikutan itu, ia menyebabkan kulit leher ayam tertarik dan nampak seperti tiada proses penyembelihan dilakukan terhadap ayam keluaran jenama PTS.

    “Produk ayam jenama PTS tersebut adalah dari pusat sembelihan yang mempunyai Sijil Pengesahan Halal Malaysia yang sah,” katanya.

    ”Pengguna tidak perlu gusar dengan tular tersebut dan dinasihatkan agar sentiasa berhati-hati dalam memilih produk yang berada di pasaran dan sentiasa mengutamakan premis yang bersih bagi memastikan ianya halalan toyyiban,” jelasnya sebelum mengakhiri perbualan.

  • [Malaysia] Jakim Told A Muslim Dog Owner To Repent

    [Malaysia] Jakim Told A Muslim Dog Owner To Repent

    The Islamic Development Department (Jakim) has told a Muslim dog owner to repent, advising her that unnecessarily touching of dogs is forbidden in the school of Islam followed in Malaysia. Nurhanizah Abdul Rahman, in a video uploaded to Facebook, shared the story of her relationship with her pet dog Bubu as part of a competition by pet food brand Smart Heart.

    Jakim said her decision to touch a dog for no reason had “caused distress among Muslims because it goes against the mazhab (Islamic school of thought) and customs practised in Malaysia. Jakim director-general Othman Mustapha said although Islam provides a cleansing method if a Muslim has touched a dog, it does not mean that it is permissible to touch dogs for no reason. “This is just like someone who commits a sin with the excuse that they will repent later. Jakim hopes she will immediately stop what she is doing and repent to Allah. She appears to be trying to set a new custom which could lead to actions which malign Islam,” he said in a statement.

  • Malaysia Minister: No Halal Certification For Products That Use “Haram” Names

    Malaysia Minister: No Halal Certification For Products That Use “Haram” Names

    KUALA LUMPUR, April 17 — Authorities will not issue halal certification for non-alcoholic “beer” or any product that uses “haram”-related names like ham or bacon, minister Datuk Seri Jamil Khir Baharom said today.

    National newswire Bernama quoted the minister in the Prime Minister’s Department as saying at the Dewan Negara that the use of the term “halal beer” went against the Manual Procedure for Malaysia Halal Certification (MPPHM) used by the Islamic Development Department (Jakim) and other state Islamic departments for halal certification.

    “In the manual, it’s clearly stated that products which use names or have names synonymous with non-halal products, or confusing terms like ‘ham’, ‘bak kut teh’, ‘bacon’, ‘beer’ and the like, cannot qualify for Malaysian halal certification.

    “Halal food or halal artificial food colouring also cannot use names or names synonymous with confusing terms that refer to non-halal food,” Jamil Khir said in response to Senator Khairiah Mohamed, who asked the government for a list of approved “halal beer” that is in the market, as well as conditions for selling “halal beer”.

    Jamil Khir also reportedly said some of those beverages have received halal certification from foreign private companies or halal certification bodies and that some did not use any halal logo on their products.

    “It must be stressed that Jakim and JAIN (state Islamic departments) are the authorities for Malaysian halal certification. Each application for Malaysian halal certification must follow the MPPHM or fatwa decisions and related rules used in Malaysian halal certification.

    “So, Jakim will ensure that these beverages do not misuse the Malaysian halal logo on their products,” he was quoted saying.

    US paper the Wall Street Journal reported in 2015 that Malaysia’s non-alcoholic beer market in 2013 was three million litres and was expected to grow to 3.6 million litres by 2016, a small figure compared to the 11.5 per cent sales in the Middle East and Africa.

    The report also said that fast food chain A&W switched to calling its root beer “RB” in 2013, in order to get the halal certification for all its outlets.

    The issue of halal certification surfaced last October after an executive with US pretzel chain Auntie Anne’s revealed that their application for halal certification had failed due to, among others, concerns over “pretzel dogs” on the menu.

    Some fast food restaurants in Malaysia use non-pork alternatives for ham and bacon, such as turkey ham and beef bacon. There are also vegetarian versions of “bak kut teh” (pork rib soup).

  • Mufti Wilayah & JAKIM Tolak Khidmat Valet Doa Sebagai Mengelirukan Dan Tidak Mengikut Syariat

    Mufti Wilayah & JAKIM Tolak Khidmat Valet Doa Sebagai Mengelirukan Dan Tidak Mengikut Syariat

    Pernahkah anda mendengar tentang ‘Valet Doa’? Secara ringkas, khidmat ini menawarkan khidmat ‘Doa anda, Kami baca, di Makkah’.

    Itulah satu perkhidmatan baru yang ditawarkan di Malaysia oleh seorang warga negara itu menerusi Facebook, yang membahasakan dirinya sebagai Haji Nasrin, atau nama sebenarnya Nasrin Harin, berusia 40 tahun.

    BERITAMediacorp mendapati, harganya bukan murah. Khidmat itu, yang akan bermula bulan depan (Mac) mengenakan bayaran antara RM500 (S$160) hingga RM5,000 (S$1,600) untuk menyampaikan doa pelanggannya di Makkah.

    Namun baru sekitar seminggu Nasrin Harin memperkenalkan dirinya dan membuat promosi khidmat tersebut, dia kini dikritik hebat oleh pihak-pihak berkuasa agama di Malaysia termasuk golongan Mufti.

    JAKIM: JANGAN TERPEDAYA DENGAN TAWARAN VALET DOA

    Ketua Pengarah Jabatan Kemajuan Islam Malaysia (JAKIM) Tan Sri Othman Mustapha menasihatkan umat Islam supaya jangan terpedaya dengan individu atau pertubuhan yang menawarkan pakej khidmat valet doa di Makkah dengan harga tertentu, seperti yang ditularkan di media sosial ketika ini.

    Tan Sri Othman menambah, pakej valet doa itu jelas menunjukkan unsur perniagaan, menjaja serta menggunakan ibadat serta doa untuk tujuan perniagaan yang tidak dibenarkan Islam.

    Malah, Valet Doa dengan berani menjanjikan bahawa doa-doa pelanggan “confirm makbul cepat”.

    Ini dia antara kata-kata promosi yang ditulis Valet Doa di Facebooknya: “Dah bertahun berdoa tapi hajat belum makbul juga?…Valet Doa bantu anda berdoa depan Kaabah – Confirm makbul cepat!!…Bermula Mac 2017.”

    Ini antara jawapan JAKIM kepada Valet Doa itu seperti ditukil agensi berita Bernama: “Adalah sangat tidak wajar doa dijadikan produk atau perkhidmatan komersil kerana ia mempergunakan agama untuk habuan dunia dan mencemarkan kesucian agama Islam. Hak termakbulnya doa adalah milik Allah semata-semata, bukan terletak kepada manusia.”

    Ketua Pengarah JAKIM dalam satu kenyataan hari ini menambah: “Ia tidak boleh diqiyaskan dengan badal haji kerana bukan haji mabrur yang diupahkan tetapi amalan badal haji itu sendiri yang boleh menerima upah.”

    MUFTI WILAYAH PERSEKUTUAN: VALET DOA TIDAK IKUT SYARIAT

    Mufti Wilayah Persekutuan, Datuk Dr. Zulkifli Mohamad al-Bakri, juga nampaknya mahu segera menangani fenomena Valet Doa ini dengan mengeluarkan satu kenyataan hari ini.

    Mufti tersebut menyatakan: “Setelah kami meneliti isu Valet Doa yang disertakan pula dengan pakej-pakej dengan harga yang berbeza seolah-olah mengikut tahap kemustajaban doa, dengan ini kami berpendapat, ia adalah sama sekali tidak menepati Islam yang sebenarnya, dan tidak mengikut syariat.”

    Mufti Wilayah Persekutuan itu, menerusi laman rasmi pejabatnya menambah, penamaan pakej-pakej seperti Pakej Raja Salman dan Pakej VIP adalah “sangat tidak berakhlak dan mengelirukan”.

    JAKIM juga menyatakan, tidak wajar mana-mana individu menjamin doanya termasuk doa untuk orang lain akan dimakbulkan Allah.

    PENGASAS VALET DOA MAHU TERUSKAN KHIDMAT WALAU DIHENTAM

    Dalam tulisannya di Facebook, pengasas Valet Doa, Nasrin Harin mengakui dia “bukanlah Ustaz, jauh sekali alim. Apatah lagi ulamak”.

    (Gambar-gambar: Valet Doa/ Facebook)

    Di laman Facebooknya, Valet Doa juga banyak dihentam kerana konsep tersebut diragui ramai netizen.

    Namun, semasa diwawancara oleh laman MalaysiaKini, Encik Nasrin Harin berkata dia akan tetap meneruskan perkhidmatannya itu.

    Diminta mengulas tulisan Mufti Wilayah Persekutuan yang menolak Valet Doa, Encik Nasrin Harin menjawab, “kami ada dalil masing-masing”.

  • JAKIM: Celebrating Valentine’s Day Is Haram, Contradicts Teachings Of Islam

    JAKIM: Celebrating Valentine’s Day Is Haram, Contradicts Teachings Of Islam

    The Practice of Celebrating Valentine’s Day is HARAM & Contradicts the Teachings of Islam – Fatwa of the Research Panel of Faith and the Research Panel of Syari’a of the Malaysian Department of Islamic Development (JAKIM)

    Here are excerpts of the research paper, “Avoid Celebrating Valentine’s Day”, available at Islam.gov.my

    ✦ Avoid Celebrating Valentine’s Day

    The celebration of Valentine’s Day began to influence our society’s culture, especially among the youngsters, around the end of the 1980s along with the emergence of television broadcasts showing advertisements or films with the celebration as the theme.

    Valentine’s Day celebration becomes more popular among the younger generations due to the influx of foreign culture through various media channels either electronic or print. The celebration is known to them as a day to celebrate love, which according to them, is the most appropriate moment to express the feeling of love and affection towards their dearest or loved ones.

    ✦ 14 February was the Date Christians Defeated Muslims in Cordova

    Historically, the word Valentine was after a Christian priest during the reign of Queen Isabella of Spain which was Saint Valentine. His success in defeating the Islamic government in Cordova, Spain on 14 February 270 AD gave a deep meaning to Queen Isabella so much so that he was regarded as the lover of her beloved people. Hence, February 14 is celebrated every year by the people of Cordova to celebrate the victorious day with a celebration called Valentine.

    ✦ Valentine’s Day is a Christian Festival

    History has clearly shown that Valentine’s Day is a religious festival celebrated by the Christians. If we refer to the statements of the Christians today, they still regard Valentine’s Day as a ritual in Christianity.

    In the website Spiritrestoration.org: The Premier, Ecumenical Christian Website. A Resource for Mature Christians and Scholars under the topic Definition of Religious Holy Days, under the index of Saint Valentine’s Day, it is stated that:

    “Christian celebration of the love of God presented in Jesus and in the lives of Christian believers. St Valentine was a 3rd century martyr. This day is widely observed in the USA as a secular celebration of love”.

    Written in the Catholic Encyclopaedia’s website, the recognition and in any version on St. Valentine, was that all of them were regarded as martyrs. A quote stated: “At least three different Saint Valentines, all of them are Martyrs, mentioned in the early martyrologies under the date of 14 February”.

    Based on the above facts, it is clear that Valentine’s Day is one of the celebrations which have become a ritual practice of Christianity. This automatically contradicts a principle of Islam which does not allow its followers to imitate the identity of another religion or ways of life especially in the matters involving the faith of Islam.

    ✦ Muslims Must Have Distinct Identities

    Islam cares and desires for all Muslims to have distinct identities which are different from the people of other religions. Therefore, the appreciation of the Islamic faith, the execution of ibadah, muamalah and moral as well as other traditions of the Muslims should not be the same and similar to other religion followers. In other words, Muslims must not mix their own faith and devotion with the faith and devotion of other religions.

    Allah s.w.t. has said:
    Say, “O disbelievers, I do not worship what you worship. Nor are you worshippers of what I worship. Nor will I be a worshipper of what you worship. Nor will you be worshippers of what I worship. For you is your religion, and for me is my religion.” (Al-Kafirun verses 1-6)

    […]

    In this matter, the Research Panel of Faith and the Research Panel of Syari’a of the Malaysian Department of Islamic Development (JAKIM) have decided that “the practice of celebrating Valentine’s Day is haram and contradicts the teachings of Islam”. The 71st Fatwa Committee of the National Council for Islamic Affairs Malaysia Meeting which was held from 22 to 24 November 2005 concluded that: “The practice of celebrating Valentine’s Day has never been recommended by Islam. The spirit of the celebration has elements of Christianity and the practice, which is mixed with sinful acts, is contradictory and prohibited by Islam. Thus the practice of celebrating Valentine’s Day is not encouraged by Islam”.
