I’m not religious either but, from the Muslims I’ve met, this seems to vary according to how religious they happen to be on an individual level. Same thing with make up, in theory it’s haram but a lot of women wear it along with their hijab.
What this headline tells me is that things are getting a bit extremist in Indonesia. Please correct me if I’m wrong, I’ve never been to Indonesia.
Its very prohibited. And very here refer to having many statements about it in both Quran, the holy book, and Hadith, the prophet Muhammad sayings.
However, to my knowledge this case shouldn’t go to the court in the first place because all the islamic warning are personal. It is like breakout a fast, its personal and there are no law or instructions for a punishment for it.
This shows how bad are the “islamic” groups in Indonesia are. Because in many cases they are doing things that completely unfounded by Islam. I cannot even call them fundamentalist.
It’s the worst sin you could ever commit if you’re a muslim, the same level as murder. They treat it as eating shit, but idk, as a non-religious chinese that’s the best shit we ever got.
I disagree with that. Cows are sacred to Hindus, pigs are abhorred by Muslims. Most (all?) Muslim countries have minority groups that eat pigs. That’s fine. However, a Muslim eating a cow in India could easily lead to a really bad time.
There is no actual Islamic punishment for eating pigs, at least not one that I heard of. But who knows with the way people “laissez faire” do religion these days [see conservative Christian Americans calling some of Jesus’ teachings too woke].
P.S even if they occasionally get things right, islamqa.info is a fundamentalist site that follows a very recent ideology that isnt what most muslims believe, and against the established schools of law in islam. Best not to use it.
Sorry to ask and I mean no harm but how serious is eating pork? I’m not religious at all

Nope, you’re right. Indonesia is getting more extreme.

Makeup is only considered forbidden by the more extreme groups, it isnt for moderates. Pork meanwhile is taboo and avoided by everyone.

Where the heck do you even get this idea from? I’ve never ever heard it be treated the same level as murder. Do you have any source to back this up?
about as bad as eating cows in india

Some info, first response by Google: https://islamqa.info/en/answers/49688/why-is-pork-haram
I’m not even surprised.

Is there an alternative that you can recommend? Thank you for your advice.
Aren’t cows what you reincarnate into if you fuck up enough? Like they’re the lowest of all, so being kind to them is virtuous.
Interesting. I have never heard of that. I heard of a Hindu diety once being a cowherd in a specific incarnation however.
Honestly I don’t know if it’s true, hence the question. I saw an Indian person talking about it once, but it’s a hard topic to research in English.
I don’t know myself. However, it does seem unlikely that being a cockroach is somehow an improvement to an animal that is treated and protected well.
