Ex-Perlis mufti challenges PGSM to prove ‘ulama insult’

KUALA LUMPUR, Oct 31 — Former Perlis mufti, Dr Mohd Asri Zainul Abidin, today gave a week to the Syarie Lawyers Association of Malaysia (PGSM) to provide proof that he had insulted renowned “ulama” (learned men) among them being Imam Nawawi, Imam Bukhari and Imam Ghazali.

Dr Asri said he wanted to see for himself the writings and words that he was purportedly said to have used to insult these “ulama”.

“I do not want to quarrel, I just want to see the proof that shows that I insulted these imams,” he told a news conference at his home here.

On Oct 12, PGSM had sent a memorandum to the Yang di-Pertuan Agong Tuanku Mizan Zainal Abidin to withdraw Dr Asri’s appointment as the head of the Yayasan Dakwah Islam Malaysia (Yadim) on various charges of insulting ulama.

He said he only read of the allegations through the PGSM blog this morning and was frustrated with what was said. — Bernama
