• *(d) he is of good character and is not commonly known as one who violates Islamic Injunctions; *

(e) he has adequate knowledge of Islamic teachings and practises obligatory duties prescribed by Islam as well as abstains from major sins ;*
*
(f) he is sagacious, righteous and non-profligate and honest and ameen;*

Provided that the disqualifications specified in paragraphs (d) and (e) shall not apply to a person who is a non-Muslim, but such a person shall have good moral reputation.*

..And who is going to decide about the sins.. the biggest sin in Islam is shirk..

A vast number of Pakistani muslims go to shrines and mazars for prayers. Some others consider this is equivalent to shirk.. Same is the case with blasphemy issue. Some muslims consider Sherry Rehman and Governor Taseer of committing blasphemy and declared them “Wajib ul Qatal”.. in fact one self righteous muslim killed Governor Taseer in broad day light. There are many contradictions which exist between different versions of Islam as far as definition of sins is concerned.

The clause in the constitution is highly flawed. State can not indulge itself in the matters of sin.. State can only deal with matters pertaining to crimes. This highly flawed article in the constitution should be immediately struck down by the SC as non-implementable and contradictory in nature. It is not logical without defining what real Islamic sins are and who has the authority to define these sins to implement this clause.
