Mujahid expresses regret over transgender personality's act in Mecca
PUTRAJAYA: Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department Datuk Seri Dr Mujahid Yusof Monday expressed regret over the actions of cosmetics entrepreneurs Muhammad Sajad Kamaruzaman who performed the umrah (minor pilgrimage) dressed in a telekung (female prayer garments).

Mujahid said the actions of Muhammad Sajad, or popularly known as Sajat, and his friends in the Holy Land really tarnished the image of Islam.

“His IC (identity card) says he’s a man and biologically, he is a man...and he wanted to go Makkah. I was made to understand that everything was fine during the flight and he was properly dressed in male attire, but when in Makkah, he put on the telekung.

“I truly regret his actions...even more so when he uploaded photos (of him wearing the telekung) on Instagram like nothing’s wrong,” he told the media after attending the Ministry of Health’s Maqasid Syariah town hall session here Monday. – Bernama
