GEORGE TOWN (Bernama): “Mukhannath” or transgender individuals should change their appearance if they want to be in mosques or surau, says Penang Mufti Datuk Seri Dr Wan Salim Wan Mohd Noor.

He said this is so that they do not look odd and avoid uncomfortable feelings among other worshippers, adding that there is no other way for these individuals to be in houses of worship unless they change their appearance.
