Egypt’s Grand Mufti Shawki Allam said on Tuesday 25/10/2022 that Dar al-Ifta has fought extremism for years as it launched the Salam Center for Extremism Studies, which issues publications and studies against the extremist thoughts.

Allam was speaking during his meeting with Cypriot Ambassador in Cairo Polly Ioannou to discuss aspects of religious cooperation between Dar al-Ifta and Cyprus.

The mufti talked about women’s position in Islam and efforts to raise awareness about the dangers of overpopulation in addition to Dar al-Ifta’s keenness to cope with the current developments by launching Fatwa Pro, a multilingual app established to communicate with all Muslim communities.

Meanwhile, Ioannou lauded efforts exerted by Dar al-Ifta and the mufti to present a moderate religious discourse and fight extremism, looking forward to more cooperation at all levels. Source: State Information Service Egypt
