Commercial star and TV host Shahnaz Haque says she supports the fatwa issued last week against smoking.
The fatwa was issued by Muhammadiyah, the nation’s second-largest Muslim organization, which says smoking is haram , or forbidden in Islam, igniting a heated debate among Muslim clerics.
Celebrities, too, are weighing in. Noting that even elementary school students are starting to smoke, Shahnaz says the fatwa will promote healthier habits among schoolchildren.
“This isn’t like the fatwa that says riding an ojek or hair-straightening is haram. This is a fatwa for health reasons. We have to support this,” Shahnaz told entertainment portal kapanlagi.com on Wednesday. Shahnaz says she also hopes cigarettes companies will be banned from sponsoring sports events.
