Selangor religious affairs executive council member Ahmad Yunus Hairi has called on mosques throughout the state to hold solat hajat (special prayers) to pray for the cancellation of Selena Gomez's upcoming concert in Shah Alam.

"All mosques in Selangor have been ordered to hold solat hajat after Friday prayers or whenever it is appropriate, before the concert is held to pray to Allah in hopes that the concert will be cancelled.

"(May) our beloved Selangor not be struck with disasters, and the concert organisers enlightened by Allah," the PAS leader said in a statement today.

Ahmad Yunus said Muslims would not condone excessive forms of entertainment, including Gomez's concert, which he said would court Allah's wrath.

The concert is slated to be held this coming Monday in Stadium Melawati.

Ahmad Yunus' order is in conflict with Selangor Menteri Besar Azmin Ali's remarks that there is nothing wrong with the concert as long as it gets the proper clearance.

PAS had protested the concert claiming that Gomez is too sexy.
