Responding to President Mohamed Nasheed’s recent radio address where he sought Islam’s position on allowing non-Muslims to worship in an Islamic community, Ministry of Islamic Affairs has requested the Fiqh Academy to explain the Shariah’s ruling on the matter.
Answering a question put forward by Miadhu Daily yesterday, State Minister of Islamic Affairs Sheikh Mohamed Shaheem Ali Saeed said that even if the President said that in a radio address, explaining and clarifying religious matters for the President and the public was among the mandate of the ministry and so the ministry has gone ahead to seek answers from the Fiqh Academy.
The State Minister added that even though the ministry wanted to address this issue as soon as possible, they were facing some problems as a number of Islamic scholars from the Academy were attending the Hajj pilgrimage in Mecca.
The duty of giving religious sermons falls on such sensitive matters is assigned to the Fiqh Academy.
State Minister further said that when Eid holidays end, President Nasheed will be given information of Shariah’s view on allowing non-Muslims to worship in an Islamic community. This would be done after discussing and deliberating with the religious scholars in the Academy.
