With regard to chickens, meat and other edibles, some people say that The Majlis is foisting issues of 'high taqwa' on the masses, and to do so is imp

Answer

The issues of contention, e.g. carrion chickens, are not cases of 'high' or low taqwa. The issues which we propagate for mass acceptance and practice are like haraam pork which applies to every Muslim, sinner or no sinner, faasiq and faajir, drunkard and fornicator, etc., etc. Every Muslim is under Shar'i obligation to abstain from carrion, riba, zina, qimaar (gambling), etc. which were never halaal in any revealed religion. The talk of 'taqwa' in the context of Sanha's carrion chickens is utterly baseless and a satanic deception, and not worthy of a man of Ilm. When we say Sanha's and MJC's carrion chickens are haraam, Albaraka Bank's, Absa's and Oasis Bank's so-called 'shariah-compliant' products are haraam riba, Radio Shaitaan's programmes are promoting zina, fisq and fujoor, we are not speaking 'high taqwa' nor even approaching the confines of 'low taqwa'. Whoever makes such contentions, speaks haraam rubbish.
