KOTA BARU: Tabung Haji (TH) has guaranteed that there will be no quota abuse and queue-cutting issues for the haj.

       Deputy Minister in the Prime Minister's Department (Religious Affairs) Datuk Ahmad Marzuk Shaary said any abuse would deny the rights of people listed to perform the haj.

       "Regarding the waiting list, it has certain criteria which is TH's priority. If there is no additional quota or all those listed are eligible to perform the haj, there will be no success for those on the waiting list," he told reporters after attending the Pengkalan Chepa PAS Aidilfitri open house at Kompleks Purnama in Pengkalan Chepa here on Saturday (May 7).

       Also present was Kelantan Deputy Menteri Besar Datuk Mohd Amar Nik Abdullah.

       Ahmad Marzuk who is Pengkalan Chepa MP, also advised prospective haj and umrah pilgrims to comply with current instructions and standard operating procedures (SOP) set by the Saudi Arabian government.

       Meanwhile, on the sale of healing and sunnah-based products which were becoming more prevalent, Ahmad Marzuk said traders were advised not to promote products using religious elements that could cause confusion.

       "Entrepreneurs of these products need to really understand what is meant by sunnah whether it is really as intended or otherwise.

       "For example, vermicelli products that use a mosque symbol but have no halal certificate. Things like this can confuse consumers, especially Muslims," he said

       He said for consumer matters, the public could refer and make a report on violation of rules to the Domestic Trade and Consumer Affairs Ministry. – Bernama
