Hanoi:Authorities have initiated an investigation into a viral video purportedly showing a Muslim individual engaging in a non-Muslim religious ritual. The case has been forwarded to relevant authorities, including state Islamic religious departments, for further examination.

According to BERNAMA News Agency, Dr. Zulkifli Hasan, Minister in the Prime Minister's Department (Religious Affairs), stated that these authorities would provide updates on the investigation once complete information is obtained.

Dr. Zulkifli made these remarks following his attendance at the MADANI Knowledge Assembly alongside Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim. The event, hosted by the Minister in the Prime Minister's Department (Religious Affairs), featured an opening lecture by Turkish Islamic scholar Sheikh Prof Dr. Muhammad Fadhil al-Jilani al-Hasani on Imam al-Ghazali's interpretation of Surah Yusuf.

Dr. Zulkifli also mentioned that the Malaysian Islamic Development Department (JAKIM) and the Federal Territories Islamic Religious Department (JAWI) are continuing their efforts to monitor the situation and enhance public awareness.

JAKIM director-general Datuk Dr. Sirajuddin Suhaimee had previously indicated that the department had organized suitable actions involving state Islamic religious departments and the Royal Malaysia Police (PDRM) in line with their jurisdictions and relevant laws.
