it was very interesting to me that my friend had said something rather odd to me yesterday. first i was just shocked but then i thought i was wrong (i always had those kind of thoughts although certain times i know im right) .
he was saying something to me about alcohol and islamic view of it. he told me that according to the islamic perspective alcohol is not haram or illicit/forbidden but rather makruh or dislike/offensive act.
haram - you do it you've sinned
makruh - you do it you don't get pahala or rewards . you don't do it you get pahala.
so as i had promised him i will google it back home.
i did my homework. and here's the result.
according to the Official Website of Malaysian Fatwa (the bodies where islamic scholars will discuss about certain issues regarding islam) this is what was stated ...
RESULT
