[wanita-muslimah] Re: Religious edicts spark heated debate in Saudi

 

"sunny--------Bismilahirrahmanirahiim

Fatwa2 yang tidak berdasarkan kpd wahyu2 ALLAH adalah fatwa2 sesat kalau di bawakan atas nama Islam.

Dalam al quran tidak ada larangan;

----bernyanyi, sesunguhnya bernyanyi itu adalah bermanfaat sekali

----menyopir , sesungguhnya menyopir itu adalah bermanfaat..

----wanita2 keluar rumah,sesungguhnya adalah hak wanita dan bermanfaat

masih banyak lagi fatwa2 yg telah dikeluarkan oleh wahabi-Salafy
yang diluar al Quran...perlu kembali di koreksi dlm era keterbukaan ini.

salam

> But, aside from some folk music, public music performance is banned in Saudi Arabia, and conservatives say it is haram even in the home. "There is no clear text or ruling in Islam that singing and music are haram," Kalbani said. Also in recent weeks, a much more senior cleric, Sheikh Abdul Mohsen al-Obeikan, raised hackles with two of his opinions, both of which could be considered fatwas.
> First, he endorsed the idea that a grown man could be considered as a son of a woman if she breastfeeds him.
>
> The issue, based on an ancient story from Islamic texts and source of a furore last year in Egypt, is seen by some as a way of getting around the Saudi religious ban on mixing by unrelated men and women. It brought ridicule and condemnation from women activists and Saudi critics around the world.
> But Obeikan, a top adviser in the court of King Abdullah, also angered conservatives when he said the midday and mid-afternoon prayer sessions could be combined to help worshippers skirt the intense heat of summer.
>
> While the choice is allowed for individuals in certain circumstances, conservatives say such a broad ruling for everyone is wrong.
>
> The comments by Obeikan and Kalbani brought rebukes from top-level clerics seeking to get control of a debate that has erupted into freewheeling public discussions in the media and on the Internet.
> In his Friday sermon at Makkah's Grand Mosque, the influential Sheikh Abdul Rahman al-Sudais lashed out at what he labelled "fraudulent" fatwas, likening their originators to market vendors selling fake or spoiled goods.
>
> The effect, he said, goes so far as to undermine the country's security.
> Meanwhile, the country's grand mufti, Sheikh Abdulaziz al-Sheikh, warned of a crackdown.
> "Those who offer abnormal fatwas which have no support from the Qur'an should be halted," he said on Al Majd television on Sunday. "If a person comes out (with fatwas) and he is not qualified, we will stop him," he said, comparing such a person to a quack doctor allowed to treat patients.
> The government is moving to build a consistency in the Shariah law-based legal system, where judges are all clerics for whom fatwas play a crucial role.
>
> The government wants only one body, controlled by the powerful Council of High Ulema, to issue fatwas, which other clerics must accept. Some people want fatwas more attuned to modern life.
> "The people are governed by old ideas," historian and columnist Mohamed al-Zulfa said.
> "People are forming a new mentality. (Many) have been waiting for such fatwas for a long time," he said about Kalbani. "We are part of the world. We have to develop the legal system to meet the needs of the modern time," he added.
>
> Earlier this year there was an embarrassing fight over the head of Makkah's religious police, Ahmed al-Ghamdi, who shocked many by endorsing mixing by men and women. He was fired, and then reinstated, in a behind-the-scenes skirmish.
>
> Hamad al-Qadi, a member of the Saudi Shura Council, called the fatwa fight this week "chaos". "The Islamic world follows whatever comes out of our country and its scholars concerning Islam," he said, according to Al Hayat newspaper. For his part, Kalbani said he was open to discussion on the issue. "The problem is that there are some who do not accept debate at all," he said.

>
> He clarified that he was not endorsing all music, using two often risque Lebanese pop singers as examples. "I am talking about decent singing, which contains decent words, and supports morality," he told the online newspaper Sabq.org. "I am definitely not talking about the songs of Nancy Ajram or Haifa Wehbe or other indecent songs." alamHowever, "if Nancy Ajram sang a song with a positive message, then she would be within my fatwa."
