  "account": "A 21-year-old Malaysian Muslim man and his 52-year-old mother were detained at the Federal Territories Islamic Administration Department (Jawi) in Kuala Lumpur today, around noon. The incident occurred when they arrived at the department. Mohd Shahzihan Ahmad, the Selangor Islamic Affairs Department director, stated that the arrest was made through a mutual surrender issued by the Shah Alam Syariah High Court and carried out by Jawi authorities. \"Both suspects are now being questioned by Jais in accordance with Section 4 and 10 of the Syariah Penal Code (Selangor) 1995,\" he said, according to Kosmo. Shahzihan emphasized that the department takes the matter seriously and will ensure all actions are taken within the scope of authority, law, and the facts of the case. He urged the public not to speculate or spread unverified information. Previously, social media reported an incident involving an individual of the Muslim faith allegedly performing a non-Islamic religious practice or ritual that violated sharia law. On October 10, Jais announced it was investigating a case based on Section 4 and 10 of the Syariah Penal Code (Selangor) 1995, involving an act showing worship in any manner that violated sharia law and an act that dishonored Islam.",
