| Summary: | Every society has its own beliefs and taboos which control their members implicitly.
Taboo is an oral tradition practiced mostly in Malay traditional society. In Malay
society, there are several taboos. One of those taboos is kenan, which is closely
related to pregnant women taboos. Basically, kenan is part of the process of cause
and consequence, which is considered as incidental to whether an illness or disability
suffered by a newborn baby is due to taboo violation by a parent when the baby
was still in the mother's womb. The origin of kenan was derived from society's
intention to preserve the relationship between man and nature, but eventually this
intention has been misunderstood by later generations with lateral interpretations
until it was known as taboos as well as superstitions among Malay-Muslims. This
study attempts to scrutinize the concept of kenan and related discussions fro,m the
Islamic perspective and also medical views on that subject. The findings show that
this taboo is regarded as syirk. Consequently this belief is prohibited for Malay-
Muslim to practice in their daily life. |
