Selangor PAS information chief Zaidy Abdul Taalib said PKR should not follow DAP's anti-hudud stance as the majority of DAP leaders were non-Muslim.
"We cannot force the non-Muslims. But for the Muslims, it is compulsory for us to accept it.
"We must believe in it, we have our faith. If we reject it, we are committing a sin.
"So from the perspective of being Muslims, PKR cannot reject it. They must support it," he told reporters at an event at the Forest Research Institute of Malaysia (FRIM) in Gombak, Selangor, today.
PKR's central committee will meet at 3pm today at the Selangor menteri besar's official residence to decide on the party's stance regarding hudud.
PKR de facto chief Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim had said last Monday that the Kelantan government's plan to table an amendment on hudud in its state assembly was problematic, as it had no powers to enforce the law in the state.
Kelantan is to hold a special sitting of its legislative assembly on December 29 to amend state Islamic enactments. Once passed, this will pave the way for PAS to table a private member's bill in Parliament to implement the Muslim penal code in the state.
