Perak Mufti says ‘Idolatrous’ Tugu Negara a big sin

If building a monument in the image of animals is proscribed, what more when it involves human forms like the Tugu Negara (National Monument), stressed Perak mufti Harussani Zakaria.

He explained that building monuments in the shape of humans was haram in Islam as in the hereafter, God would ask those responsible to give life to their creations.

Other than saying that it was a “big sin” to build monuments featuring the human form, Harussani believed that the Tugu Negara beautification project with such a huge allocation, was a waste of taxpayers’ funds.

He told Malaysiakini that it became a bigger sin when people were invited to hold ceremonies at the National Monument as it bordered on idolatry or idol worship.

“From the beginning, we did not agree (with the National Monument’s construction) as we are an Islamic country. Why are we worshiping monuments?

“In any case, monuments in human form are proscribed,” he said.
