A hardline Islamic group has blasted Pamela Anderson's offer to donate her Playboy fee to a charity that helps Indonesian disaster victims.
The former Baywatch star, who posed nude for the January issue of the Playboy magazine, handed the 25,000-dollar payment to 'Waves 4 Water', a charity that works to bring clean drinking water to disaster-hit zones.
Islamic Defenders Front officials, however, publicly denounced Anderson's donation, reports the New York Post.
They claimed the donation to the charity was 'against the law of God' because it was obtained through 'immoral acts'.
'If she wants to be photographed naked, then she is challenging a bigger disaster to happen in Indonesia. It's haram (forbidden),' Habib Umar Salim, the head of FPI's advisory council, said.
'I've just shot another Playboy cover that will debut in January for Hugh Hefner, at his request -- I adore him. Playboy and I decided to do this, so I could donate earnings from the shoot to Waves for Water,' Anderson had said on her website.

Hollywood hunk Tom Cruise risked his life by dangling almost 2,717 feet in the air near the top of skyscraper Burj Kahlifa, the tallest building in the world, while performing stunts for Mission: Impossible 4 in Dubai over the weekend.
On Saturday, fans and photographers watched as the married father of three hung from a wire near the building's observation deck, which is 124 stories high, Usmagazine.com reports.
Clad in black, Cruise ran across the windows of the towers as nervous crewmembers looked on from nearby open windows, according to the Daily Mail.
'There's always that adrenalin before you do a stunt,' the death-defying star said this past summer.
'I want to entertain the audience, and part of making these movies is doing my own stunts,' he said.
The film in which Cruise plays agent Ethan Hunt hits theaters early next year.
