JAKARTA - The lecturer Ustaz Yahya Waloni continues to throw statements that attract public attention - from a bad side. At least two statements resulted in negative responses.

The first statement, namely the question of deliberately hitting a dog. The story of his experience was conveyed during a lecture broadcast on the YouTube Hadits TV account on Saturday, February 13, 2021.

Yahya Waloni admitted that he had hit a dog when he was around the border area between Riau and Jambi, precisely in Kemuning District. It all started when he wanted to go to the lecture location.

On the way, Ustaz Yahya Waloni saw a dog and hit it with a limp. The reason he hit the dog is because the animal has uncleanness.

"I also hit a dog, I don't know whose. He limped his leg. I still brake the goat, but I saw a dog, unclean I shot the one in front," he said.

His statement immediately generated criticism from various parties, including Deddy Corbuzier. Through his twitter account, he uploaded satirical comments. The contents of the upload are regarding the word dog from the old google which refers to a lecturer.

"Forgot the name of the preacher who was proud to run into your dog ... Yes, I just Google DOG, right ... Die appearing," wrote Deddy, quoted from Twitter @corbuzier, Tuesday, February 16.

Apart from Deddy Corbuzier, the animal lover community also criticized the statement from Ustaz Yahya Waloni.

Head of Animal Defender Indonesia, Doni Herdaru, said that dog saliva is unclean in Islam, but that does not mean that they can act cruelly to these animals.

"It should be remembered that in Islam, dogs are unclean but there is no reason to be cruel to them," said Doni.

"In Islam, there are good ways to deal with uncleanness if we are exposed. It does not mean that what is unclean must be eradicated and persecuted," he stressed.

Doni mentioned that all living things created by God certainly have benefits. So, there is no reason to hurt them.

"If you don't like it, there's no need to hurt. That's all. Of course, the Creator doesn't create anything in vain," he said.

VOI editorial review how Islam views a dog. The majority of scholars are of the view that all parts of a dog, both its body - if wet - and its saliva are unclean. On the other hand, there are schools that give more diverse views. For details, please read on "Islam Looks at Dogs, Public Looks at Yahya Waloni".

In fact, Doni also invited Ustaz Yahya Waloni to brainstorm. The reason was that it was considered suitable as a form of criticism against Ustaz Yahya Waloni.

"Ideas versus ideas, writing versus writing, speech versus speech. At this point we consider it," he said.

"I think at this point, this opinion or speech needs to be criticized and reminded," he continued.

Doni also suggested to Ustaz Yahya Waloni that when his lecture did not contain negative narratives in various ways. Because, there are still many things that can be conveyed and educated.

"Our advice is not to invite things that are not good. There are still many shady and comfortable things to discuss on the platform," he said.

The second statement, from Ustaz Yahya Waloni, who received a negative response, was when he challenged the Chief Expert of the Presidential Staff Office (KSP), Ali Mochtar Ngabalin fought to the death.

Yahya Waloni uttered the challenge in response to Ngabalin's tweet, which hoped that the police would arrest him. In addition, this challenge was also uploaded by the Islamic zhinyal Youtube channel in a video with the title 'Ustaz Yahya Waloni Responds to the Speech of Ngabalin's Latest Viral Lecture'.

In the video, the challenge began when Ustaz Yahya Waloni referred to Ngabalin as Kibulin. Then mentioned the question of asking the police to arrest him.

"He also talked on Google, after Gus Nur, the police will try to arrest Refly Harun and Ustad Waloni," he said.

Then, Ustaz Yahya Waloni also challenged Ngabalin to solve the problem manly without involving the police. He challenged Ngabalin to fight until he died.

"Never mind Kibulin, if you are not happy with Yahyah Waloni, you just have to decide where we meet, we will beat you to death. It means fighting physically. We are figth, "challenged Yahya Waloni.

Deddy Corbuzier responded immediately to this statement by uploading a tweet from his Twitter account.

Deddy invited Ustaz Yahya Waloni to meet. But the meeting took place during the One Pride event.

"Really, I want to invite this Yahya Waloni. But to OnePride," tweeted Deddy.

One Pride is a mixed martial arts competition title in Indonesia. This event is broadcast on tvOne in collaboration with the Indonesian Martial Arts Committee. The competition, which has been held since 9 April 2016, presents a tough and fierce battle on television.

Meanwhile, Ali Mochtar Ngabalin also responded to the statement. He said it was time for Yahya Waloni to be jailed for his remarks.

"It is time for Si Yahya Waloni to be enclosed. God willing, just wait and a matter of time," wrote Ngabalin on his twitter account, @AliNgabalinNew.
