So, its finally announced that Yoga is not allowed for Muslims. Read it at Malaysiakini and The Star.
One person told me it’s a good news – One less Hinduism knowledge to be exploited by others and its their loss, so why should Hindus cry over it.
The Fatwa council says the physical movements, chanting and worshipping aspects of yoga makes it haram. So, unless those yoga centers manage to strip Yoga of the above three things, its time to put a notice “for non-muslims only”.
Well, I’m not sure whose loss it is, but definitely there are many ways to overcome this ban. One can go to other countries and learn it there 🙂 It seems only Singapore and Egypt has similar bans.
