The two are controversial religious officer Zamihan Mat Zin and Muhamad Rozaimi Ramle, a popular preacher seen close to Perlis mufti, Asri Zainul Abidin.
Perak mufti Harussani Zakaria said the duo were banned because the contents of their talks were not in line with the Shafi Islam as practised by a majority of Muslims in Malaysia, besides being influenced by Wahhabism, the puritan strand of Islam followed in Saudi Arabia.
“If they give speeches, they can be arrested,” Harussani told FMT.
In a letter dated Jan 5, 2018, Harussani said the decision was made last November following a meeting with state Islamic officials.
Zamihan and Rozaimi are already banned from giving religious lectures in Selangor.
Rozaimi is a lecturer at Universiti Pendidikan Sultan Idris (UPSI), and is part of the Perlis fatwa committee.
Zamihan, who leads the Sunnah Wal Jamaah Organisation (Aswaja), last year courted controversy for questioning the Johor sultan’s criticism of a Muslim-only launderette.
