H.E. Dr. Nazir Mohamed Ayyad, Grand Mufti of Egypt and President of the General Secretariat for Fatwa Authorities Worldwide, strongly condemned the terrorist attack targeting a church in Jordan’s Karak Governorate, affirming that targeting innocent people and terrorizing civilians is a grave crime that violates the teachings of divine religions, which uphold the sanctity of human life and the dignity of every human being.

The Grand Mufti stressed that combating terrorism and extremism is a shared responsibility that demands the promotion of peace and coexistence and firm opposition to ideologies that incite violence and hatred.

Dr. Ayyad extended his heartfelt condolences to the victims’ families, wished the injured a speedy recovery, and prayed for the continued security and stability of the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan and all nations.
