No reason Muslims can’t visit other houses of worship


JOHOR BARU: There is no reason why Muslims in the state cannot visit houses of worship of other faiths or their festivals, as long as they do not take part in their rituals or prayers, says the Sultan of Johor.

“This is very clear and I have complete trust in Muslims because their faith is strong and unshakable. I do not wish to dwell at length here. There is no need for any kind of polemic over this,” said Sultan Ibrahim Ibni Almarhum Sultan Iskandar.
