KUALA LUMPUR: Parti Keadilan Rakyat vice president Nurul Izzah Anwar has come under fire over her statement allegedly supportive of freedom of choice for Muslims in selecting their religion.
The statement, made at a forum on Saturday, has since drawn heavy criticism from certain quarters, including Muslims scholars.
Religious scholar Ustaz Fathul Bari Mat Jahaya said ignorance was to blame for her statement.
"I'm certain that she is ignorant, this is why she made such a statement. Her statement has clearly deviated from the maqasid syari'yyah and can be categorized as deviating Islamic principles.
"I feel she has been talking without sufficient religious knowledge. It is more honorable for her to retract the statement altogether without twisting it, as God is all merciful," he was quoted in Berita Harian today.
Fathul Bari, who is also Umno Young Ulama (Ilmu) working committee secretariat chairman, said her statement goes against what has been repeated by Nurul Izzah's father, Opposition leader Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim on maqasid syari’yyah or the key reasons why the Al-Quran was passed down, which are religion, mind, life, property and dignity.
"Nurul Izzah should have referred to PAS ulama first. Even the Opposition leader himself always spoke about maqasid syari'yyah," he said.
