00:00The proposed guidelines for Muslims attending events at non-Muslim places of worship will
00:07not only safeguard Muslims but help protect interfaith harmony, says Chengganu Mufti Sabri
00:13Haron.
00:14He said the guidelines are meant to instill mutual respect and avoid tensions due to religious
00:19misunderstandings.
00:22Sabri said the guidelines will help protect harmony not only among the Muslims but also
00:27the non-Muslims so that they will be cautious and maintain their sense of respect, according
00:32to Sinar Harian.
00:34Sabri said while he believes the guidelines have merit, he is not sure what the upcoming
00:39National Council of Islamic Religious Affairs meeting will decide on the matter.
00:45He said after the meeting, the guidelines will be brought to the Conference of Rulers
00:49for approval.
00:51The Mufti's defence of the guidelines comes after the Sultan of Selangor expressed his
00:55disapproval over the proposed guidelines, saying the Quran and Sunnah already provide
01:01the best guidelines for Muslims.
01:04Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim also said the controversial guidelines are unnecessary and
01:09will only cause anxiety.
