Egypt’s Mufti Dr Shawqi Allam met on Sunday 2/10/2022 with Cambodia’s new ambassador in Cairo Uk Sarun to discuss means of boosting religious cooperation between the iftaa houses in both countries.

The meeting focused on progress achieved by the Egyptian Iftaa House over the past year.

It also took up efforts exerted by the Egyptian Iftaa House to counter extremism, with an observatory to monitor takfiri fatwas launched in 2014.

The Iftaa House has also issued a magazine, “Insight”, in English to address non-Arabic speaking people and offer a correct image of Islam and its teachings, Allam told Sarun.

The diplomat, for his part, praised the achievements of the Egyptian Iftaa House at all levels.

Sarun said Cambodia needs to train its own muftis to be able to benefit their country.
