The Pokemon Go game, which is rife in several countries, including Indonesia, received a special response from the Mayor of Banda Aceh, Illiza Sa'aduddin Djamal, who confirmed that the Pokemon Go game was haram.
"And the pokemon have all been spread in electronic media, it turns out that it means I am a Jew," said Illiza at a halal bi halal event with all officials and staff in the Banda Aceh City Government, Wednesday (20/7).
According to Illiza, if every child says that word every day then the law is haram.
"Imagine now children who say they are Jews and this game is on our children's cellphones, then this is haram, and please parents, to provide supervision to our children, qu anfusakum wa expertkum naara," said Illiza was reported in mediaaceh.
With the pervasiveness of the misdirection, said Illiza, she hopes that parents can continue to provide supervision and be more open to their children.
"Age 0 to 7 years make them kings, 7-14 years old them with religion, 14-22 years make them friends. When children make us friends, then they will open up with us at that time they will tell us anything , and we will know what they are doing and we can give them advice," said Illiza.
