SINGAPORE - From podcasts, Facebook posts and articles carried by news outlets and blogs, incoming mufti Dr Nazirudin Mohd Nasir is keen on harnessing the power of different forms of media to better engage with Muslims here.

This podcast will be issues-based and in English, and more details will be revealed soon, said Dr Nazirudin, who will assume the role of mufti - Singapore's top Islamic leader - next week on March 1. Last March, he was appointed deputy mufti, after previously holding the post of Muis' senior director for religious policy and development. Dr Nazirudin has a PhD in theology from the University of Oxford and has helped Muis develop fatwas, or religious rulings, and religious teacher training.

He touched on how Muslims here have actively discussed complex and controversial topics, like the permissibility of human organ donations and the validity of joint tenancy in Islam.
