She said the best way to tackle the issue was not to alienate the group as this would only drive them further away from Islam.
“In our religion, what is haram is haram and there is no compromise about that.
“(But) if we alienate the group, which has been done before, how are they supposed to live in dignity? We do not accept them at the workplace and shun them in public places, and sometimes look upon them as if they are dirt.
“So, the way we approach them should be different to ensure it does not drive them further away from Islam.”
Fuziah said this during a question-and-answer session at the International Malaysia Law Conference 2018, titled “Raising The Bar By Preserving and Furthering the Rule of Law”.
The four-day conference aims to empower lawyers to meet the modern challenges of internalisation of legal services and to prepare lawyers to seize opportunities as they arise.
Among those present were Chief Justice Richard Malanjum, Attorney-General Tommy Thomas and Chief Judge of Malaya Zaharah Ibrahim.
