Yoga is banned for muslim..!!
 I just heard over the news that yoga is banned. I found the same news on Malaysiakini. Malaysiakini reported : “The fatwa (edict) is meant solely for the Muslims to follow. Non-Muslims need not question or debate this because they are free to do whatever they wish. It is the Muslims who have to adhere to this rule,” he added. Shukor said once the edict was gazetted, it would be up to the state governments to plan implementation and enforcement laws. “Malaysia is not the only country which has declared yoga as haram in Islam. Singapore and Egypt have come out with the same edict as well.” According to the Star, council chairperson Dr Abdul Shukor Husin said although the physical aspect of yoga, excluding worshiping and chanting, might not be wrong in Islam, the exercise should be avoided by Muslims as “doing one thing could lead to another”. "We discourage Muslims from practising yoga as a form of exercise because it will ultimately lead to religious worshiping and chanting which is against Islam. |
