Muslim entry in pagents 'haram' even if no swimwear


The National Fatwa Council still deems it haram for Muslim women to join beauty pageants, even if the women do not parade swimwear, said Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department Jamil Khir Baharom.

“The Fatwa Council did not mention clothes, it said (participation in) beauty pageants are prohibited, it did not question the outfits,” he told reporters this afternoon.

He said so when commenting on a statement by the Miss World Malaysia 2013 organiser who, after a meeting with the Federal Territories Islamic Affairs Department (Jawi), was hopeful the ban may be reversed as current beauty pageant rules allow Muslims participants to dress modestly.
