Information, Communications and
Culture Minister Datuk Seri Dr Rais Yatim today asked PAS president Datuk Seri
Abdul Hadi Awang not to give excuses to demand an official letter from the
National Fatwa (Edicts) Council on its decision banning his Amanat Haji Hadi
(Haji Hadi’s Message) in 2002.
He
said the council had decided on July 24, 2002, that the message issued in 1981
was contrary to the teachings of Islam and the principles of Islamic
propagation.
“This
goes to show that he (Abdul Hadi) had ignored the decision of the National
Fatwa Council.
“As a
leader, he should respect Islamic texts and the decision of the National Fatwa
Council which has banned his message and not challenge the council to issue him
a letter,” Rais told reporters.
Rais
said anyone who breached decisions of the National Fatwa Council had to answer
to the “ummah” (people) and the council itself.
