Warning letter to religious teacher was over inflammatory language, not LGBT stance: Islamic regulatory bodies

The joint media statement by the authorities on Tuesday comes after a social media post by the religious teacher on Apr 30 that said “asatizahs who opposed to the LGBT are given warning letters". The post has been removed.

This code includes provisions that an Islamic teacher must not do anything that is likely to cause public disorder or advocate any idea that is likely to encourage extremism or violence, whether directly or indirectly. After determining that his posts had contravened the ARS code of ethics, the ARB issued him a warning letter on May 13, 2022.

"The ARB advised him that he should address socio-religious issues, including LGBT issues, with wisdom, kindness, compassion and mercy."
