Translated from Indonesian to English:

An Aphorism:

Imam Ahmad narrated a hadith from Ibnu Mas’ud, that Rasulullah
Salallahu 3alayhi wa sallam said:
“People who are the most severe in torture in the Day of Resurrection are three: (1)
One who killed a Prophet or is killed by him, (2) A
Leader who is a deviant and deviates others, (3) And the actors of a play (mumathil).”
He continued, “What are meant as mumathils there are painters or
People who act in front of other people. As
Affirmed in dictionaries. (See: Al-Makhraj Min Al-Fitan, page 90).

Based on this hadith, the scholars declared haram (upon acting), when
It is frequent in plays/soap operas/films/dramas where one has to
Act as a beggar while one is not a beggar, act
As an ealder while one is young, act as a teacher while one is not
a teacher, actas a criminal while one is not a criminal, or act
as an infidel, even as an idolater who practices his
rituals in front of an idol. And many more. This is all
a blatant falsehood, which can only be judged by people of
intelligence and unaffected at all by desires.

How is it then with those who pursue carrier as actors???
If it were conveyed upon them these hadiths about
mumathils, would their hearts not be saddened, would they
fear not the torture they will receive in the Day of resurrection??? Apparently profession
as an actor is a lowly profession yet, why are there many
who are infatuated with them, has their mind gone wrong???
