The Sultan of Selangor, Sultan Sharafuddin Idris Shah today said there is nothing to stop Muslims from visiting other places of worship.
He said non-Muslims can visit other religions' places of worship but asked that they do not take part in any rituals or practices. "There is nothing wrong with attending a wedding or a wake at a church, for example, but Muslims must just observe. Likewise, Christians, I believe, would not join in the prayers or rituals at a Taoist temple,” he said during an interview with The Star.
The Mufti even said that he could wear the medals and insignia which had the depiction of the cross on it as they weren't religious items.Sultan Sharafuddin also commented on the recent Selangor Islamic Religious Council claims that activities, where Muslims visit non-Muslim houses of worship such as temples, churches, and gurdwaras to learn about these religions apart from their own, should be rejected and restricted.
