The second munaqasyah or discussion session on the Allah issue will be held in two weeks’ time, said Minister in the Prime Minister's Department (Religious Affairs) Zulkifli Mohamad Al-Bakri.
He said the discussion would involve akidah and legal experts from the Department of Islamic Development Malaysia (Jakim).
The issue would be discussed from the legal viewpoint so as to empower any fatwa (Islamic decree) related to the use of the word Allah, he told reporters after a working visit to Kolej Universiti Islam Perlis (Kuips) in Kuala Perlis today.
Zulkifli said the outcome of the first discussion on the issue was submitted to the Conference of Rulers on March 17.
On March 10, the Kuala Lumpur High Court ruled that non-Muslims nationwide can use the word Allah and three other Arabic words in religious publications for educational purposes.
The three other words are Baitullah, Kaabah, and solat.
