What confusion. It still says haram to join there. The "forced to part" with condition like unnecessary addendum when they could just end at "haram". Or get rid of the word "haram" and just advice what to observe.

Can't wait for them to come with another letter for celebrating CNY lol.

Reading replies from /k got me thinking.

Do nons dont like muslim to be real muslim?

It is haram. Agree should stop at that.

JAKIM just give guidelines in case such situations exist. At the end it comes to the individual how he practices Islam.

CNY not religious so no problem but some muslim still don’t know.

lulz depa ingat org muslim semua bodo ka sampai perlu keluarkan surat macam tu?

Real muslim would have strong faith not swayed by simple act of joining other faith celebration.

.......or u toking about the "other" version in Middle East now?

Then you dont know islam yet. Thats the reason i dont want to argue about technicality because non dont even study the religion.

But some like to use logic to dictate how religion should be.

I believe the issue here is acknowledging other religion, not getting swayed or get confused or whatever.

By joining other faith celebrations or ritual you are acknowledging its faith. That the main reason why non religion celebration is fine like CNY.

Tough being a muslim here in Malaysia.

Errrr.... Cause that's how real peace and harmony is achieved. Otherwise u just end up like the war torn version Middle East where everyone use religion as excuse to go to war and wanting to wipe out all non believers.

Bangsat betul JAKIM! Nasi dan susu pun haram! Orang JAKIM tak makan nasi dan minum susu?

..... Kay. Just curious was kuda kepang got religion agenda? Cause it was haram by jakim also.....

Different thing. Its same like malay bomoh who like to call help from spirit/djin other than Almighty God.

Jakim is all about religion

Haraam but still people go find bomoh.

nampak salib takut.
lihat tanglung merah takut.
belanga masak susu pun takut.

Last I checked smoking also haram. Can summon gennie if smoke is it?

Be specific. Coconut bomoh. Lol.

JAKIM = KPM ?

Real as in extremist moral police?

Or real as in matured and able to think for ownself?
