Muslim clerics ban yoga in Indonesia
INDONESIAN Muslims have been banned from doing yoga if they engage in Hindu religious rituals during exercise.

Yesterday, about 700 clerics from the country’s top Islamic body said it had fears that yoga used Hindu prayers that could “erode” Muslims’ faith.

"The yoga practice that contains religious rituals of Hinduism including the recitation of mantras is "haram" (forbidden in Islam)," spokesman for the group Ma'ruf Amin said.

"Muslims should not practice other religious rituals as it will erode and weaken their Islamic faith," he added.

The council said Muslims could do yoga as long as it is was only for physical exercise and did not include chanting, mantras or meditation.

The MUI has carved a key role for itself in Indonesia and its pronouncements on everything from Islamic banking to halal food can have a powerful influence.

The fatwas are not legally binding but can influence government policy and it is considered sinful to ignore them.
