Pahang mufti’s statement does not constitute an edict, says PMO


KUALA LUMPUR: The Cabinet is of the view that Pahang mufti Datuk Seri Dr Abdul Rahman Osman’s statement on kafir harbi (those at war with Islam) was just an opinion, and not a fatwa.

It said the mufti’s statement actually meant that the kafir harbi group should be resisted, but not necessarily with violence.
