(Ahlul Bayt News Agency) - Non-Muslims are not prohibited from entering mosques but they must observe decorum, such as donning the proper attire, said Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department Datuk Seri Jamil Khir Baharom.
“This is why the National Mosque, the Federal Territory Mosque and the Tuanku Mizan Mosque make available robes and scarves when they enter these places,” he told reporters after flagging off the Federal Territory 1Malaysia 1Ummah Hijrah Run here yesterday.
He was commenting on the alleged tight-fitting clothes worn by Serdang MP Teo Nie Ching during an aerobics session in the compound of the Taman Cheras Jaya Mosque in Balakong, near here, recently.
Teo had raised controversy in August when she delivered a talk at a surau in Kajang.
