KUALA LUMPUR, Nov 22 —The National Fatwa Council has declared that yoga is prohibited in Islam.
Sources said the decision was on the basis that yoga involves physical movements, chanting and worshipping.
The issue cropped up late last month when a university lecturer advised Muslims to stop practising yoga for fear that it could deviate their belief.
The council then stepped in and said it would issue a fatwa.
