PAS Youth 'aye' for Penang's loudspeaker fatwa
- 9 years ago
PAS Youth today declared its support for Penang Fatwa Council's decision to prohibit the use of loudspeakers for the recital of the Quran before dawn prayers.
Speaking to reporters in Shah Alam today, PAS Youth chief Nasrudin Hassan said that this prohibition is in line with the teachings of Prophet Muhammad.
"We feel this is a correct move as the prophet had prohibited his followers from reciting their prayers in a manner which disturbs others in performing their worship.
"The reading of the Quranic verses using loudspeaker is done at 4am or 4.30am and this could the disturb the sleep of young children, or individuals who are praying in their own homes," he said.
He added that the prohibition is not for the call of prayer and many do not realise that they could be disturbing others.
"This is the beauty of Islam. Most don't realise (it is wrong) as they feel that (reading the Quran using loudspeakers) is an act of worship (beribadat)," he said.
