Summary
The Negeri Sembilan Fatwa Committee ruled that it is haram for Muslims to request or direct non-Muslims to pray according to their own religions. It is also haram for Muslims to pray together with non-Muslims, each according to their own religion, at the same event. However, if non-Muslims pray according to their own teachings of their own accord without being directed, this is not prohibited.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Orang Islam HARAM meminta atau mengarahkan orang bukan Islam berdoa mengikut agama mereka masing-masing, begitu juga orang Islam HARAM berdoa bersama-sama orang bukan Islam mengikut agama masing-masing di dalam satu majlis.
