Timah is a metal, not a Muslim name, explains Tuan Ibrahim

PETALING JAYA: A PAS leader has stepped in to quell the Timah whisky controversy, clarifying that Timah means tin and is “not a Muslim name or even a person’s name”.

Deputy president Tuan Ibrahim Tuan Man also said that whatever the brand name or logo, liquor was still “haram” in Islam, but the rights of non-Muslims to drink it had to be taken into account.

Instead, he said, Muslims need to stay away from alcohol in all situations.

“It is better for us to educate Muslims to stay away from alcohol but the rights of non-Muslims also need to be looked at,” he said.
