Kuala Lumpur, Nov 25 : Sultan of Selangor Sharafuddin Idris Shah has reportedly said that the decision by the National Fatwa Council to ban yoga was not in effect in the state, as, he added, the Rulers'' Conference must be consulted before significant religious edicts are issued.
In a statement, the Sultan’s private secretary Datuk Mohamad Munir Bani said that a state fatwa committee will be soon called to take a stance regarding this. “The Selangor state Fatwa Committee, chaired by the mufti of Selangor, will convene to discuss the practice of yoga in the state in detail so that a decision will not be made in haste,” nstonline. com quoted Bani as saying.
