Summary
The Federal Territory Sharia Legal Consultative Committee decided that the imam or khatib should begin the supplication with a prayer for forgiveness for Muslim and believing men and women, before continuing with other supplications. The written sermon text should likewise place the prayer seeking forgiveness of sins, beginning with the phrase Allahummaghfir, first, followed by other prayers. The decision was made at a meeting on 8 April 1993 and is not gazetted.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Imam atau khatib hendaklah mendahulukan di dalam berdoa dengan lafaz
