The cheque is halal... But probably the account holder of the cheque is not halal.. According to the interpretation of that branch manager

Well... That's what happen when every single minute thing also need to refer to a scholar for opinion... No longer using their own mind...

Those on 80s or 90s dont have this kind of halal or haram issue but now semakin macam taliban as if we're going backwards...

I wonder if they will start testing porcine dna on cash someday.

Meanwhile UAE and even Saudis are getting more liberals

They are trying to recover the true islam practice during prophet time rather than being too 'cultural n tradition islam'
But by doing so, it also gives space for liberal idea to sets in too
There is need for a check n balance

Thats why imam mahdi, a descendent of prophet will come in the future n correct these madness. Islam has already age 1400 years, who can actually point out wheterht the islamic practice todays is as original as prophet time. I would say, all religion will change after time

Mohd Redza who served as chief executive officer till November 2019 said cheque payments made by any organisation must be honoured unless there are elements of offences under the Anti-Money Laundering Act (AMLA) at hand.

Earlier today, Bank Muamalat Malaysia denied claims that it refused to accept a cheque from a customer here last week because it was "non-halal."

Its head of banking operations Muhamad Radzuan Rahman said the bank initially rejected the cheque as the name of the payee as written was not the same as the one registered in its system.

"Let me make it very clear that there is no such thing as a halal or non-halal cheque. We are a licensed financial institution which provides banking services including cheque clearing and it is our responsibility to accept any cheque," he said

"That particular cheque was initially rejected purely due to a technical reason," added Muhamad Radzuan, adding that the issue was due to a misunderstanding.

He was responding to a statement by Chew who had asked on Friday (Dec 24) if the bank had rejected a cheque for RM1,500 from a religious organisation for Wah Chai Association simply because it was not halal.

Chew had then said a Wah Chai official made the "non-halal" claim to him after the bank rejected the cheque.

"It was then we discovered that the name of the payee on the cheque and in our system did not match. So, we called and asked them to take the cheque back," he said.

"In conclusion, I would like to say that the whole episode was due to a misunderstanding. The bank needs to know the purpose of the cheque and the source.

"So there must have been an issue of how parties interpreted the situation and this was probably how the words 'halal' or 'non-halal' came about.

"Also, we do not know if these were uttered as we were not there," he said.
