Malaysia Judge: Not Everything That Prophet Muhammad did Should Be Followed

    When judging a case happened to three school brothers who were once expelled by the headmistress around 10 years ago for reluctantly taking off their turban, a panel consisting of judges from Malaysia Federal Court, Malaysia Court of Appeal and chief judges from Sabah and Sarawak ruled out recently that everything that Prophet Muhammad did – or the way he did it – is legally or religiously binding on Muslims, or even preferable and should be followed.
    In his written judgment, Justice Abdul Hamid said he accepted that Prophet Muhammad wore a turban but added that the Prophet also rode a camel, built his house and mosque with clay walls and roof of date palm leaves and brushed his teeth with the twig of a plant.

    “Does that make riding a camel a more pious deed than travelling in an aeroplane?” he asked in the judgment read out by Federal Court deputy registrar Kamaruddin Kamsun

    “Is it preferable to build houses and mosques using the same materials used by the Prophet and the same architecture adopted by him during his time?”
    Anyone not agree meh?
