A state mufti today expressed regret over Muslims' tendency to question fatwas (edicts) issued by state religious leaders.

Pahang mufti Abdul Rahman Osman slammed certain ‘extreme quarters’ who denounced as wrong any fatwas they disagreed with, saying that such groups apparently believed they were very smart.

“When we make a decision, they question fatwas issued by muftis and refer to other fatwas.

“If you don’t agree with a particular fatwa, it can be ordered to be revised,” he pointed out.
