Muslims can attend weddings in church, says Selangor sultan FMTNews
Sultan Sharafuddin Idris Shah said the call by the Selangor Islamic Religious Council to restrict visits by Muslims to temples, churches and gurdwaras to learn about the other faiths ‘was correct and clear’.
However, Muslims must not take part in the rituals or practices at either temples or churches, he said, The Star reported.Sultan Sharafuddin said his late grandfather, Sultan Alam Shah, attended the coronation of Queen Elizabeth II in 1953. This was held at the Westminster Abbey church in London. “The mufti said there was nothing wrong with it if he did not take part in any ritual such as prayers,” he was quoted as saying.
The Selangor ruler’s stance was similar to that of the Johor sultan who last week said Muslims in the state could visit houses of worship of other faiths as long as they did not participate in the rituals or prayers.
