GEORGE TOWN: The khatib (sermon reader) who caused a stir by reciting the prayer for Chief Minister Lim Guan Eng instead of the Yang di-Pertuan Agong during Friday sermons recently, defended his action Tuesday, saying it was not wrong in Islam.
Zakaria Ahmad, however, acknowledged that his approach and the occasion and place where he recited the "doa" (prayer) for Lim were seen as wrong.
