KANGAR: An international ulama seminar, which ended here yesterday passed a resolution calling for the creation of the position of national mufti to help oversee Islamic issues.
At present, there were only state muftis and this had caused problems when issues of national interest could not be immediately addressed since there is no person of that stature that could be empowered to resolve the issues, said Islamic Understanding Institute (Ikim) director-general Datuk Dr Abdul Monir Yaacob.
