Summary
The Muzakarah resolved that Muslims should not request or direct non-Muslims to pray according to their respective religions. Prayer is an act of worship to Allah, and for Muslims supplication is directed to Allah alone. 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 tidak harus meminta atau mengarahkan orang bukan Islam berdoa mengikut agama mereka masing-masing.
