‘Raja Bomoh’ ritual of warding off floods contradicts Islamic teachings, says deputy religious affairs minister

JELI, Jan 6 — A ritual supposedly to ward off floods by ‘Raja Bomoh’ or his real name, Ibrahim Mat Zin with a woman in Teluk Intan recently, clearly showed elements that contradicted Islamic teachings, said Deputy Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department , Datuk Ahmad Marzuk Shaary.

“Such a practice leads to superstition. We will leave it to JAIPk to take stricter action against the two,” he told reporters after officiating at the Musaadah Banjir programme at Pasti Nur Fatihah Kuala Balah, here, today. JAIPk director, Datuk Mohd Yusop Husin said apart from the man, his department would call other individuals involved in the incident to assist in the investigation under Section 14 of the Perak Syariah Criminal Enactment 1992 for defaming and insulting Islam.
