Controversial Tuyul Banner in Tasikmalaya, This is What MUI Says Comedian Kadir (KLY)

Dream - The Indonesian Ulema Council (MUI) has finally spoken out about the concerns of residents in Tasikmalaya who feel that their money has disappeared because it was taken by tuyul. MUI asks the public not to worry excessively.

"In the belief of Muslims, jinn do exist, but they are not allowed to be used for evil purposes," said the Chairman of MUI's Preaching and Brotherhood Division, KH Cholil Nafis, quoted from MUI's official website on Thursday, June 8, 2023.

Residents of Burujul, Cipedes District, Tasikmalaya, are currently in an uproar because several people claim to have lost money mysteriously. They suspect that the money disappeared because it was taken by tuyul.

They are so angry that they have made a banner containing condemnation for anyone who keeps tuyul. The banner also prohibits tuyul from roaming in the area.

Cholil explained that in Islam, jinn are known to be both Muslim and non-Muslim. In fact, there are often people who want to collaborate with jinn, including with tuyul, which was previously known as a bald devil.

"If in the past I have read before the 90s, in the 18th century, tuyul was not known but bald devil. It means a supernatural being that does evil, even assumed to take other people's wealth," he said.

He advised those who play with tuyul to steal to stop immediately. Because such actions are considered forbidden and will incur sin and punishment from Allah SWT.

"So we protect ourselves and our wealth to Allah by reciting the Quran, there is no need to go to a shaman either, usually a house that is often recited with the Quran, evil supernatural beings will not enter our house," he said.

Meanwhile, the MUI Fatwa Number: 2/MUNAS VII/MUI/6/2005 Regarding Divination (Kahanah) and Prediction (‘Irafah) asserts the prohibition of divination practices.

The fatwa was decided at the 7th MUI National Conference in Jakarta on July 28, 2005, signed by the chairman of the fatwa commission at that time, KH Maruf Amin and Drs Hasanuddin, MAg as the secretary. In the fatwa, it was decided:

  1. All forms of divination practices (kahanah) and prediction
    (‘iraafah) are forbidden
  2. Publicizing divination practices (kahanah) and prediction
    (‘iraafah) in any form is forbidden
  3. Utilizing, using, and/or believing in all
    divination practices (kahanah) and prediction (‘iraafah)
    is forbidden.

This fatwa is expected to maintain the purity of monotheism and protect the community from activities that may lead to polytheism, and can serve as a guide for all Muslims.

Heboh Warga Tasikmalaya Pasang Spanduk 'Tuyul Dilarang Beraksi', Kesal Uang Sering Hilang

Dream - Residents of Burujul, Cipedes District, Tasikmalaya, West Java, are restless. Many of them claim to have lost money mysteriously.

The residents suspect that their money was taken by tuyul. They are so angry that they have made a banner to warn the owners of tuyul.

The warning banner is placed on the main road. The residents hope that the message will be read by the owners of tuyul, whom they suspect of taking money at certain times.

"I am already upset, the money that disappeared belongs to someone else and I have to replace it," said Euis, a resident whose money disappeared, quoted from YouTube Liputan6.

Euis became suspicious when her money often went missing but not all of it. According to her, if it was stolen, it should all disappear immediately.

But the case in her house was different. The missing money ranged from Rp100 to Rp200 thousand, but with a frequent occurrence.

"The suspicion arises because it often goes missing. If someone took it, why not take it all, from Rp1 million, Rp100 thousand goes missing, then my tax money goes missing Rp200 thousand, and the arisan money that is usually entrusted to a friend, I forgot and I kept it in the cabinet even though it was locked, but it still disappeared," she said.

Euis revealed that the missing money disappeared in sequence. Furthermore, the cabinet where the money was kept was intact, with no signs of forced entry or damage to the lock.

According to Euis, there has never been any suspicious person or thief in her house.

"The lock is still intact, and there is no one here. My nephew works. It was kept in my room, upstairs," she said.

From this incident, Euis immediately suspected that there was theft using tuyul.

Already annoyed, Euis and her sister took the initiative to create a large banner and put it up on the main road in their neighborhood.

In the banner, Euis warned the owners not to act again in the Burujul area, as it is considered harmful. She also stated that keeping tuyul is a major sin.

"Please be aware to the owners of tuyul. Do not act again in the Burujul area, your actions are a major sin," Euis wrote in the warning banner.
