On the International Day of Persons with Disabilities (IDPD), celebrated on December 3, 2025, under the theme “Fostering Disability-Inclusive Societies for Advancing Social Progress,” Egypt’s Grand Mufti and President of the General Secretariat for Fatwa Authorities Worldwide, Dr. Nazir Mohammad Ayyad, emphasizes the importance of respecting individuals in their vulnerability, recognizing their hidden potential, and ensuring they have fair opportunities. He stresses that Islamic law mandates care and non-discrimination for this group, and that it is society’s failure to provide education and services—not the disability itself—that limits their worth. He calls for transforming this day into a practical commitment to promote social inclusion, empowerment, and full participation, reflecting Egypt’s ongoing efforts to uphold their rights
