Muslim men in a Malaysian state could face up to two years in prison or a hefty fine for skipping Friday prayers without a valid reason under Shariah law.
Authorities in Terengganu state, which is governed by the conservative Pan-Malaysian Islamic Party (PAS), announced on Monday that offenders will face a prison sentence or up to RM 3,000 (£525) in fines, or both, under the Shariah Criminal Offences (Takzir) Enactment law.
