The Islamic Ideology Council has retracted its previous declaration declaring the restraint to the restraint of financial transactions as “non -Islamic”, specifying that no final decision had been made on the issue.
The 342nd CII meeting described on Wednesday the restraint to restraint on fund transfers and cash withdrawals as excessive and incompatible with Islamic principles in its initial press release. However, the council then brought a clarification on the issue.
The declaration of follow -up, entitled “Clarification”, said that the reports suggesting that the Council had reached a final conclusion was misleading. He explained that only a preliminary discussion took place among certain members, during which opinions varied.
“The members recommended consulting experts at the next meeting for a more detailed discussion,” the statement added. “No final decision was taken into account by the Council on the issue.”
The CII also expressed strong opposition to the proposed modifications of the DIYAT law (Blood Money), in particular those modifying traditional sharia assessments involving gold, silver and camels.

The Council rejected the bill presented for the amendment, claiming that Islamic Diyat measures – based on silver, gold and camels – must remain intact. The proposed modifications included the withdrawal of money as a reference and the adoption of a standard not in accordance with gold.
He also expressed reservations concerning a decision of the Supreme Court of September 11, 2025 which forced the IDDAT (waiting period) and the maintenance of non -marital women after divorce, appeal to the contrary to Koranic injunctions.
In response to an investigation by the Ministry of Religious Affairs, the Council agreed with a guideline so that citizens respect banners, flags and inscriptions carrying sacred words during the month of Rabi ‘al-awwal, avoiding any desecration.
Regarding drugs, the advice advised diabetic patients to avoid insulin products containing ingredients derived from pork, noting that insulin alternatives certified by Halal are now available on the market and should be preferred as far as possible.
