Malaysian preacher advises women not to watch World Cup

Mr Ngah said women might be aroused by sight of athletic men wearing shorts

Kuala Lampur: A Malaysian Muslim preacher has urged Muslim women not to watch the football world cup matches as they may commit “zina mata” or “visual fornication” by watching the matches.

Datuk Daud Che Ngah said women might be aroused by the sight of athletic men wearing shorts. “If a woman watches a football match, they will indirectly see the ‘aurat’ of the players,” he said.

‘Aurat’ in Malay refers to body parts between the navel and the knee.

“Watching the ‘aurat’ until it causes sexual excitement can be categorised as ‘zina’ of the eye,” the preacher added.
