  • Tahu Apa Itu Hukum Pelihara Anjing?

    Tahu Apa Itu Hukum Pelihara Anjing?

    -ISU ANJING LAGI-

    Ramai orang di Malaysia sudah faqih tentang hukum anjing, kalau tanya sesiapa tentang kenajisan anjing nanti ramai yang jawab, “Hukum kenajisan anjing khilaf dalam kalangan ulama”. Ada yang lebih ‘advance’ ilmunya akan menjawab, “Mazhab Maliki kata tak najis”. Ada yang terlajak ‘advance’ menjawab, “Mazhab Maliki cakap cuci tujuh kali perkara ta’abbudi bukan sebab anjing tu najis”.

    Apa pun syabas saya ucapkan atas perkembangan ilmu dan pengetahuan seperti ini. Apa pun saya seperti mereka memperakui ia adalah khilaf di sisi ulama. Cuma adakah mereka tahu ada satu lagi hukum yang lain tetapi ia amat berkait rapat. Iaitu APAKAH HUKUM PELIHARA ANJING MACAM PELIHARA KUCING di sisi Malikiyyah? Macam omputih cakap ‘as a pet’.

    Adakah mereka yang menyokong pendapat mazhab Maliki kerana konon membela orang Islam yang memelihara anjing sedar bahawa hukum kenajisan anjing ialah lain, manakala hukum memelihara anjing adalah perkara yang lain? kedua-duanya ada hukum tersendiri dan berbeza. Apakah mereka juga sedar ada hadith-hadith yang menyebut tentang implikasi buruk akibat memelihara anjing?

    Tak perlu jawab di sini, sebab rasanya mereka yang dah ‘advance’ sudah menemui jawapannya.

  • [Malaysia] Shell To Remove Cardboard Model Standees After Perverts ‘Molest’ Them In Viral Photos

    [Malaysia] Shell To Remove Cardboard Model Standees After Perverts ‘Molest’ Them In Viral Photos

    Oil giant Shell today said today it will be removing all standees modelled by one of its Malay Muslim woman employees following viral images of the men in suggestive poses with her cardboard cut-out.

    Shell also advised the public against further sharing such images which it termed as “distasteful”.

    “We are aware that pictures of several individuals photographed engaging in distasteful and suggestive acts with a promotional standee at our retail stations are circulating online.

    “We do not condone this disrespectful act, which is completely against the culture of Malaysians and Shell’s core values. We urge netizens and members of the public to refrain from sharing these images further.

    “The standee will be removed from all our sites with immediate effect,” it said in a statement.

    Several photos that have been making the rounds on social media showed men holding hands with the cut-out, kissing its cheek, and even grabbing at the breast.

    The model pictured in the Shell promotional standee, Nor Shafila Khairusalleh, 25, was reported saying yesterday that she was perturbed by men “molesting” her likeness.

    The petrol station supervisor told mStar Online that she could accept men who posed kissing or hugging her likeness, but not if they went overboard as it would be akin to sexual harassment.

    “They may just be joking, but I feel ashamed because that is still myself although it is just an image,” she was quoted saying.

    Nor Shafila was also reported that her husband was distressed seeing men “molest” his wife’s image, but that he remains an understanding partner.

  • [Malaysia] Polytechnic Stallholder In Penang Allegedly Told To Convert To Islam If He Wanted To Continue With The Stall

    [Malaysia] Polytechnic Stallholder In Penang Allegedly Told To Convert To Islam If He Wanted To Continue With The Stall

    Gopi Krishnan Gopal, who operated a stall in Politeknik Seberang Perai (PSP), Penang, has now claimed that he was told to convert to Islam if he wanted to continue running his business.

    The 45-year-old former engineer claimed that the PSP head of administration, who allegedly told him and his wife, Khor Hong Geik, to convert, has since retired.

    Gopi Krishnan also claimed to have received calls from various quarters, including a government officer from Putrajaya, who told him to “keep things quiet” as there were efforts to get his stall reinstated.

    “I told the officer to raise the issue with Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak’s department and to ask the PM to ensure that all polytechnics in the country have a canteen operator to provide food for non-Muslims, especially vegetarians.

    “We are not asking for a temple to be built in the polytechnic, just a stall to serve non-Muslims, some who are vegetarian due to religious reasons,” he said, adding that he served 1,200 non-Muslims students in PSP.

    Gopi Krishnan (second on left in photo) would be lodging a police report on the matter and is also mulling legal action against the polytechnic.

    Accompanying him at the press conference were Penang Deputy Chief Minister II P Ramasamy and lawyers Paramjit Singh and Shamsher Thind Singh.

    Malaysiakini is in the process of contacting the polytechnic and Deputy Education Minister P Kamalanathan on the latest allegation.

    Previously, Kamalanthan said the canteen operator was terminated from PSP due to “administrative reasons”. The deputy minister denied it had anything to do with racial or religious extremism.

    The polytechnic has also denied allegations of racism, adding that a police report was lodged on June 26 on the contents of messages on the matter that went viral.

    It is learnt that some 300 students have signed a petition, calling on the institution to reinstate the canteen operator, while several quarters have condemned PSP for its handling of a non-Muslim canteen operator.

    Gopi Krishnan had been operating his canteen in PSP since September last year but was told to fold up his business by June 30, which is tomorrow.

    He failed to obtain the permit for his stall despite meeting all the conditions stated in an open tender, which PSP held in May.

    Gopi Krishnan was the only non-Muslim among 12 operators who participated in the open tender.

    He was later told by the same head of administration, who allegedly told him to convert to Islam, that he was unable to fulfil the ISO syariah procedures.

    Ramasamy said the syariah compliance procedure was something new and surprising.

    “Why should a non-Muslim trader be subjected to this law? Are there requirements that in public institutions built with taxpayers’ money, both Muslims and non-Muslims, must practice syariah?

    “Gopi Krishnan is clearly a victim of racial and religious intolerance in public institutions,” he said.

    Ramasamy called on Kamalanathan, who is also MIC education bureau chief, and the entire PSP management, to resign.

  • [Malaysia] More Malay-Muslims Should Adopt Dogs From Shelters

    [Malaysia] More Malay-Muslims Should Adopt Dogs From Shelters

    I love this picture so much. Why? Because it’s so iconoclastic. It destroys the image that no dogs should exist in the world of Malay-Muslims.

    We’ve been told since young how ‘unclean’ dogs are when in fact, the Quran (the central text in our faith) permits us to eat food caught by hunting dogs!!! So with all the contact made by a hunting dog (rubbing, biting, clawing), the food is STILL halal! How on earth can the dog himself be haram then? Only incredibly stupid people would think that.

    I encourage all Malay-Muslims to adopt dogs from shelters. Shower them with the love you have for the ulamak. They are more deserving of your love…
