Abstract
Indigenous People (orang Asli) in Malaysia had started to embrace Islam since 40 years ago. The method of preaching used by the preachers to teach the rulings and regulations in Islam related to halal and haram (prohibited and permissible) was not in accordance with the method of taysir. It has led to a negative perspective of Islam that made the Indigenous People feel sceptical and afraid to embrace Islam. They were afraid that it would affect their lifestyles. This taysir method of Halal and Haram is believed as a better alternative to approach Indigenous People in Malaysia. This qualitative research is conducted to examine the hurdles and obstacles Indigenous People faces to embrace and practice Islam, especially in practicing the rule of halal and haram by using the library�s reference method. The research also aims to overcome the problems by suggesting a new approach of preaching by considering the method of taysir Previous research found that the new model of taysir halal and haram could be successfully applied by including: (1) The diversity of schools of fiqh, (2) Methods of Islamic Principles especially on darurah, (3) The discussion of rukhsah, (4) The priority of fiqh al-awlawiyyat, and (5) Maqasid al-Syariah together with it. The result could lead to the development of a new model for teaching Indigenous People to understand and practice Islam in a better way. � 2017 American Scientific Publishers All rights reserved.
