Ritual of warding off floods contradicts Islamic teachings, says Ahmad Marzuk

JELI: A ritual supposedly to ward off floods by ‘Raja Bomoh’ (shaman) or his real name, Ibrahim Mat Zin with a woman in Teluk Intan recently, clearly showed elements that contradicted Islamic teachings, said Deputy Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department (Religious Affairs), Datuk Ahmad Marzuk Shaary (pic).

He said in this regard, the Malaysian Islamic Development Department (Jakim) hoped that the Perak Islamic Religious Department (JAIPk) would take stern action against the individuals involved.
