Among religions in Brunei, Sunni Islam is predominant. 67% of the population is Islamic. However, other religions also have a considerable foothold in Brunei. 13% of the population is Buddhist and another 10% is Christian.〔 The remaining 10% subscribe to various religions, including indigenous religions.〔 Islam is the state religion of Brunei, but freedom of religion is guaranteed. The right to practice privately is given to a plethora of religions.〔 Furthermore, some non-Islamic holidays, such as Christmas, are recognized.〔 However, these rights are limited: religious education is controlled, even in private schools, and any non-Islamic religious materials being distributed are subject to confiscation.〔 The state madh'hab of Islam is Shafi'i. Most of Brunei's Muslim population subscribe to the Shafi'i school as well, and Shafi'i is a major source of law for the country.〔 However, with the Sultan's permission, lawmakers may also consult the other three Sunni schools of fiqh.〔 == See also == * Hinduism in Brunei * Christianity in Brunei 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Religion in Brunei」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
