‘Use malediction as last resort’


KOTA BARU: The proposed “mubahalah” (malediction) to resolve the sodomy allegations against PKR de facto leader Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim should be used as a last resort, said Datuk Nik Abdul Aziz Nik Mat.

Perlis mufti Dr Mohd Asri Zainul Abidin has proposed that Nik Abdul Aziz become the middleman in arranging for the malediction by Anwar and his aide Mohd Saiful Bukhari Azlan who made the sodomy allegations.

Mubahalah” is an old Islamic practice where the disputing parties would swear they were telling the truth and pray that God’s curse befell the lying party.
