Ustaz: I didn’t say it’s prohibited to patronise non-Muslim hair salons

GEORGE TOWN: Ustaz Shahul Hamid Seeni Muhammad (pic), who found himself in controversy for asking Muslims not to patronise hair salons run by non-Muslims, is denying that he used the word haram (prohibited) despite being recorded saying so in a video clip.

Shahul said that in the footage released a few years ago, he was answering a question about hairdressing for a Muslim man in a kafir (infidel) woman’s salon.
