KAPEL TU HARAM KE TAK?

i have an uncle who i call ayahku or in short aiku. he is my mom's brother. since i was kid, he likes to give me advices and share his islamic ilmu. i remember we even used YM to contact because he studied in russia in medic, so through YM he gave advices to my cousins and me. he's one of the people who i will ask for opinion when i have something in my head especially in islamic topics. just like abang syafiq fadeli. i like to ask their opinion because i know they are rich in ilmu. i can always search the answer from google and books but i love to know their point of view. so yesterday, after done and getting bored with blogwalking here and there i suddenly remember 1 unsolved question in my head : adakah kapel itu haram? i already search the answer in many islamic articles but non of them give me satisfaction. so i asked him and do read his answer below. now i have my own way to classify this thing. thank you aiku!
