A Tamil Nadu based Muslim organisation has aksed Muslims not to use Yoga Guru Baba Ramdev’s Patanjali products made by using cow urine. It said that use of urine and excerata is considered ‘haram’ (forbidden) in Islam.
Tamil Nadu Thowheed Jamat (TNTJ) said cow’s urine was being used as a ‘key ingredient’ in cosmetics, medicines and food products of Patanjali that are available in open markets as well as online.
“According to the beliefs of Muslims, cow’s urine is haram which should not be used. Therefore, TNTJ issues a fatwa that products of Patanjali are haram,” TNTJ said in a statement.
The fatwa was being issued to ensure that such products were not consumed by Muslims due to a lack of awareness about the ingredients of the products they consume in daily life, it added.
Tamil Nadu Thowheed Jamath is a non-political Islamic organization was started in 2004 when some members of Tamil Nadu Muslim Munnetra Kazagham (TMMK) had internal dispute. TNTJ claims to preach true Islam to Muslims and non-Muslims using Quran and Sunnah.
