MUI's role

MUI's role

From Republika

The Indonesian Council of Ulemas (MUI) management has been
occupied by some figures whose capabilities are beyond doubt,
bringing some fresh air for Muslims.

The role of MUI becomes highly essential in an atmosphere of
ghiroh, where people have a developed a good appetite for
learning about their religion.

Muslims in general have a particularly limited understanding
of fiqih (Islamic law), let alone in contemporary matters.

We hope that, in the future, the MUI would be more proactive
by issuing recommendations or rulings regarding things which can
bring negative impact to the society, like pornography, drugs and
liquor, setting off firecrackers before religious holidays,
wearing scanty clothing, including celebration of Valentine's day
etc.
