Indonesia's top Muslim clerical body, Indonesian Ulema Council, has issued a fatwa against online multiplayer battle royale game PUBG, claiming it insults Islam. "Our fatwa says that PUBG and other similar games are haram (forbidden) because they can trigger violence," deputy chairman of the Aceh chapter of the council said. Aceh is the only region in Indonesia with Islamic law. The Aceh chapter of Indonesia's powerful Ulema Council urged local residents to not play PUBG and added that the local government should just ponder over banning the game.
