Islamic Renaissance Front (IRF) has also been embroiled in legal troubles with Jawi.
IRF director and chairperson Dr Farouk Musa has been charged with “abetting a crime” under Section 43 of the Syariah Criminal Offences Act 1997, believed to be in connection with IRF organising book launches and talks with Mustafa.
The “crime” in question is that Mustafa allegedly conducted “religious teaching without tauliah (proper accreditation)” as stipulated in Section 11 of the same act.
If found guilty, he could face a RM5,000 fine or three years imprisonment. He is to present himself at the Kuala Lumpur Syariah Court on Dec 4.
With the help of lawyers Rosli Dahlan and Khoo Gan Huat, who are offering their services pro-bono, IRF is filing for judicial review for both the Syariah charge and the ban.
To finance the two judicial reviews and his criminal trial, Farouk has appointed Freedom Fund to undertake crowdsourcing efforts.
“The aim is to raise a total of RM75,000 in which RM5,000 is to prepare for Farouk’s fine, should he lose his case in Syariah Court.
“The other RM70,000 is to prepare for his criminal defence and the judicial reviews,” said Freedom Fund working committee member Wong Chin Huat.
