There is no immediate need to appoint a new Mursyidul Am, or spiritual adviser to replace the late Datuk Dr Haron Din, PAS secretary-general Datuk Takiyuddin Hassan has said.<\/p>\n
Sinar Harian quoted Takiyuddin as saying that the Islamist party\u2019s deputy spiritual adviser Datuk Ahmad Yaakob will be filling in the late Ustaz Haron\u2019s position for the time being.<\/p>\n
\u201cOutsiders cannot be appointed and as of now, there is not urgent need because the acting [spiritual adviser] is already there,\u201d he was quoted saying, referring to Ahmad.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe appointment of spiritual adviser and deputy must go through the Syura Ulama\u2019s council meeting, when there are 15 members.<\/p>\n
\u201cNow there are 14 people and there may be one more person who will be appointed. They will meet, and the decision will be up to the Syura Council on who they want to appoint,\u201d the Kota Baru MP added.<\/p>\n
Despite Takiyuddin\u2019s explanation, Ahmad has said earlier this week he would not be replacing Haron.<\/p>\n
Almarhum Ustaz Haron, who had battled heart problems for some time, died this month at a hospital in San Francisco where he had undergoing treatment.<\/p>\n
The religious healer\u2019s death came a year and a half after he was elected as PAS spiritual adviser to succeed the late Datuk Nik Abdul Aziz Nik Mat. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
