KOTA BAHARU, July 23 (Bernama) -- PAS spiritual advisor Datuk Nik Abdul Aziz Nik Mat Thursday admitted that holding a candle at a memorial came under a "grey area" in Islam but was of the opinion that it was not forbidden (haram).The Kelantan Menteri Besar said it was not contrary to Islam if the person doing it (holding the candle) was able to differentiate between a religious and non-religious function.
"As for me, when a person of the Hindu faith or a Buddhist invites me to attend a function, I will first clarify whether it is a religious or cultural one. I will decline if it is a religious one," he told reporters here today.
He was asked to comment on the statement by PAS Ulama Council head Datuk Harun Taib that the practice was a grey matter in Islam and it would have been better if former Perak menteri besar Datuk Seri Mohamad Nizar Jamaluddin had not held a candle for the memorial held in Ipoh on Friday for Teoh Beng Hock, who was found dead on the fifth floor Plaza Masalam in Shah Alam on Thursday.
tunku : at last this tok guru gave his "fatwa" on the candle light vigil issue.exactly same like what his hatchet man(husam musa)said earlier.i wonder why harun taib the chief of pas dewan ulama had different opinion on this matter than tok guru's. as for nik aziz it's understood, anything pas do is HALAL and if it was Umno who did that, he had issued the haram fatwa long time ago.still wonder which kitab he read.

Good one Tunku. Anything that UMNO does, it is Unislamic and haram.
Everything PAS is in, it is halal and people will get a ticket to heaven.
Tok Guru should resign and retire.
To me Nik Aziz is not an ulamak and Pas nowadays are playing with their version of 'islam'....they just a plain typical politician. Halal or haram is just a game to them.
Well if you read the Holy Koran, read the parts related to these verses... all these verses come from the Holy Koran and have been contextualized correctly using the same or other Islamic resources. Did Pas people really hold and abide to the Holy Koran?
