KUALA LUMPUR – The Office of the Mufti of the Federal Territories (PMWP) views the statement made by cosmetics entrepreneur Muhammad Sajjad Kamaruzzaman to leave Islam as serious as it can have a deep impact on Muslims in the country, said the Federal Territories Mufti Datuk Luqman Abdullah.

Sajjad, better known as Nur Sajat, was believed to have made the statement following a conflict between him and a state Islamic religious department.

Luqman said the statement was deemed controversial and might cause confusion to some members of the society, leading them to assume that the act of denouncing Islam was normal and not against the religion, adding that it might lead to other offences.

“The PMWP would like to advise all Muslims in the country to always preserve their dignity and exercise caution when issuing any statement to the public,” the mufti said in a statement today.

Luqman also reminded Muslims to respect the constitution and the shariah law. – Bernama, March 3, 2021
