Looks like Maznah Yusof’s so-called controversy is still not over. Shortly after Maznah (or Chetz) was freed on court bond for her controversial ‘Hari Raya Anjing’ video, Chetz was called up by Jakim for “insulting Islam”.
The nation’s top Islamic authority believed that Chetz’s actions were wrong in the eyes of religion.
Datuk Othman Mustapha, director-general of Jakim said:
“The content of the clip is blasphemous as it involves matters of worship related to heavy impurities (mughallazah).”
Othman says that Islam’s view towards animals is the same as other religions except that there is a different concept on purity.
“The celebration of Hari Raya is also a form of worship but the clip does not portray that,” he added. He further explained that it was wrong for Maznah to include the audio of the Islamic prayer in the background as it was done in the background.
Jakim and the state religious authority will call Chetz for an explanation and to advise her on the matter.
