Clarifying the Misconceptions about Islamic Restrictions on Entertainment and Performing Arts in Malaysia

Background: Muslims as a community have had issues and debates whether entertainment and Performing Arts are permissible in Islam. While some orthodox Muslims today totally ban any type of Performing Arts, claiming it’s haram (forbidden) and shun themselves, others have argued that Muslims are allowed to have some entertainment with some guideline from the Holy Quran and Hadith (words from Prophet Muhammad passed down). This paper was part of a project/research to see how the Muslim community misunderstood this issue with arguments from the Quran and Hadith. It is hoped that this research will contribute to the political debate and confusion on the subject in Malaysia and the country’s arts and culture policy.

Muslim Sunnis which consist of more than 80% of the population Muslim community around the world including Malaysia are the most tolerance with many of them became scholars in various areas including entertainment business and Performing Arts

This study intends to explore the effects of government policy on creativity in film and theatre production in Peninsular Malaysia. It also examines the ramifications of the nexus between government control and film/theatre production on multiculturalism in the country today
