PM: Muslims can practice yoga

Nov 26, 08 4:37pm

Muslims can continue practicing yoga as long as there are no elements of worship or mantras involved, said Prime Minister Abdullah Ahmad Badawi today.

Furthermore, the premier underscored the fact that yoga was good for health.

"I want to stress that any physical practice without the elements of worship can be continued, this means it is not haram (prohibited under Islam)," he told Bernama.

Abdullah was asked to respond on the controversy surrounding the National Fatwa Council's decision to ban Muslims from practicing yoga.
