Fathul Bari Mat Jahaya is Umno Ulama Muda secretariat chairperson. 

Fathul Bari in a column in Sinar Harian last Sunday said that the hadith he had quoted taught Muslims not to blame traders, government or voters for their woes.

However, Facebook users were neither convinced nor amused by his argument.

He also slammed Anwar Ibrahim for now criticising the move to cut fuel subsidy, saying that when the opposition leader was finance minister, he, too, cut subsidy by 10 sen.

Furious with the criticism over his article, Umno Ulama Muda secretariat chairperson Fathul Bari Mat Jahaya has launched a broadside against his critics.

In a video explanation, he said that his article ‘Harga barang ketetapan Allah’, which among others, suggested that the price of goods was decided by Allah, was judged too “literally”.

He also called on his critics to work as the economic advisers for US President Barack Obama or Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak.

Fathul Bari (right) said his article was actually about the sixth tenet of the Islamic faith, that is the belief in fate and destiny.

Labelling his online critics as “lebai ekonomi keyboard” (keyboard economic experts), he said that by criticising his article, they were trying to act smarter than Prophet Muhammad.

This was because he had based his article on a hadith, in which the prophet said that he cannot control prices, which were then escalating, and that only God could determine such things.

‘It’s God’s will’: Umno ulama gets thrashed

Facebook users pour scorn on Fathul Bari Mat Jahaya for asking consumers to accept rising prices as God’s willl.

PETALING JAYA: Facebook users are throwing brickbats at an Umno-linked religious scholar who has urged consumers to accept the rising cost of living as a test from God.

So far, more than 100 Facebook users have posted mostly negative reactions to a Sinar Harian report quoting Fathul Bari Mat Jahaya as advising Muslims against blaming “traders, the government or voters” for rising prices.

He quoted from the Quran and Hadith to drive home his point that God is the ultimate provider of sustenance.

However, Facebook users were neither convinced nor amused by his argument.

“It is also God’s will that made [Fathul Bari] stupid and lack common sense when arguing his case,” said Mohd Azli Renzo.
…

Several used sarcasm to accuse him of sucking up to the government.

“I hope the government gives Fathul Bari the Tan Sri title for his latest fatwa,” said Lukman Ismail.

Ah Kaw Pun said: “When an apple polisher speaks… it means he is waiting for his Tan Sri title.”
