Mufti: It is forbidden to play with firecrackers

Dicing with danger: Various types of fireworks seized recently by Kedah’s Customs Enforcement Division at the North-South Expressway near Pendang.

KOTA BARU: Firecrackers should not be associated with Hari Raya celebrations because playing with hazardous materials that harm yourself or others is prohibited in Islam, says Kelantan Mufti Datuk Mohamad Shukri Mohamad.

“Therefore, it is forbidden to play with firecrackers,” he said.
