November 25th, 2008 - 1:56 pm ICT by ANIKuala Lumpur, Nov 25 (ANI): State religious authorities in Malaysia will discuss the National Fatwa Councils ban on Muslims practising yoga before implementing the edict in the official gazette.
States normally adopt the decision of the national council, but in some cases takes time to implement it.
Malacca Chief Minister Datuk Seri Mohd Ali Rustam said that the Malacca Islamic Religious Council (Maim) would gazette the edict by early next month. He said the matter would be brought up at Maims meeting next week.
