PETALING JAYA: PAS Youth has defended its chief Ahmad Fadhli Shaari for watching a local movie, Mat Kilau, at a cinema in Kuala Lumpur recently, following accusations of hypocrisy.
In a statement, PAS Youth said that the film’s characters were dressed modestly, while the movie’s storyline did not promote any “immorality”.
“If the movie promotes good virtues, encourages people to learn from history, instils patriotism, then it’s not ‘haram’ (forbidden),” the wing said in a statement.
It added that female and male moviegoers were segregated during the screening.
However, PAS Youth said cinemas would still be categorised as “haram” if they did not adhere to Islamic principles.
“It would be ‘haram’ if moviegoers who were not ‘mahram’ (unrelated) sat closely together, watching romantic movies, as this could lead to immorality. If watching the movie made them forget to perform their prayers, then that is haram too,” it said.
PAS Youth also said it objected to the establishment of cinemas in Kelantan if it violated Islamic principles.
However, they were agreeable if moviegoers were segregated while in the cinema halls, and the films were shariah-compliant.

ReplyDeleteIn time should PAS gain control of parliament, all nons will be required to adopt malay names.
ReplyDeleteNo other religious places of worship will be allowed except islam as the presence of other religious places of worship is an insult to islam.
Ultimately only malays and muslims will be allowed to live in Malaysia.
Yes, this may seem a very far fetched scenario. But, is it?
