Hey guys, I'm finally back! Look what interesting read I've stumbled on upon coming back from Australia! So interestingly reported in the nst.com.my, I figured it must be catchy to have it posted in here as well! I can't resist to miss out this good one, how could you?
Malaysia certainly Boleh!
Valentine's Day 'haram in Islam'
JOHOR BARU: The state Religious Department yesterday reminded Muslims here that Valentine's Day was haram in Islam. The fatwa had been declared in 2005, but the warning, said Mufti Datuk M. Tahrir Samsudin, was the department's yearly reminder to Muslims not to engage in un-Islamic activities. He said such celebrations "involved elements of vice" and violated Islamic tenets and values. He said the Christian elements found in the celebration also did not correspond with Islamic practices.
Hmmm.... be careful when you're walking down the streets on the 14th.... oh wait, does that apply to Chap Goh Meh [psst, the chinese valentine version] as well??
