Doa against Umno: Will there be a fatwa?

The Penang Malay Congress seeks a fatwa on PAS prayer for the destruction of Umno and Barisan Nasional

GEORGE TOWN: The Penang Malay Congress (PMC) today urged the National Fatwa Council to state its stand on the recent “doa” (prayer) conducted by PAS for the destruction of Umno and the Barisan Nasional.

PMC president Rahmad Isahak said Muslims in the country were awaiting an explanation from the council and a “fatwa” (edict) on the PAS action.

“Muslims were forbidden to participate in the ‘Bersih’ gatherings after a fatwa was issued, but that is a worldly issue. This ‘doa’ concerns the hereafter, and a ‘fatwa’ is necessary,” he told reporters.

Last Friday, PAS held a prayer for the destruction of Umno and the BN at the Sultan Muhammad IV Stadium in Kelantan in conjunction with its 58th general assembly.
