Yoga - practices that involve physical movements, worshiping and chanting - is officially prohibited in Islam, the National Fatwa Council declared today.
"We discourage Muslims from practising yoga as a form of exercise because it will ultimately lead to religious worshiping and chanting which is against Islam."
"In Islam, one must not do things which can erode one’s aqidah or faith. Doing yoga, even just the physical movements, is a step towards an erosion of one’s faith in the religion, hence Muslims should avoid it,"
"There are many other forms of exercise that Muslims can partake in, especially as the religion promotes healthy living and lifestyle. Performing prayers, for example, is a good form of exercise," he said.
Teenage girls are being gang raped, concerns about the increasing rate of robbery, and their issues of yoga is what they bring our attention to. What's next? Muslims can't dance hip hop? This is mental!
