Pahang bans vaping among Muslims
Tengku Abdullah
JERANTUT: The Pahang Fatwa committee has declared a ban on vaping among Muslims in the state as it poses a health hazard.
Pahang Islamic Religious and Malay Customs Council (MUIP) president Tengku Abdullah Sultan Ahmad Shah said the decision was made during the committee's meeting on Monday.
"The committee has declared that Muslims are banned from smoking e-cigarettes," he told reporters after chairing a MUIP meeting.
The decision was in line with the National Fatwa Council's decision to ban vaping among Muslims in the country.
"Those who do not observe the ban will be punished severely," Tengku Abdullah said.
