‘It is okay as long as there is no visible unclean elements’


PETALING JAYA: There is no problem in Muslims and non-Muslims sharing the washing machines at launderettes “as long as there are no visible unclean elements”, said Universiti Putra Malaysia (UPM) senior lecturer and independent religious speaker Dr Shauqi Othman.

“So long as there are no visible unclean elements and things that could lead people to believe that the clothes of the non-Muslim person is tainted, there is no issue for Muslims to share the washing machines at launderettes,” he told mStar Online yesterday.
