Religious affairs minister Zulkifli Hasan says a 2023 Jakim decision does not impose a ban, but conditions apply.
Reports that halal-certified eateries and hotels in Melaka were barred from displaying Christmas decorations sparked public criticism.
PETALING JAYA: Halal-certified establishments are allowed to display decorations for non-Muslim faiths, including Christmas, provided certain conditions are met, says religious affairs minister Zulkifli Hasan.
Zulkifli said the position is based on a 2023 decision by the Islamic development department (Jakim), which confirms that halal-certified outlets, including restaurants and hotels, are allowed to use images, illustrations or decorations for non-Muslim festivals.
However, he said the decorations must be non-permanent, must not involve religious worship paraphernalia, and must not be displayed together with the halal certificate or halal logo.
