Dr. Shawky Allam, the Grand Mufti of Egypt, received a presidential Afghani delegation led by Dr. Shams al-Rahman Frutan, the Afghan Presidential Advisor, to discuss means of promoting religious cooperation between Dar al-Iftaa and the Republic of Afghanistan.
The Grand Mufti expressed Dar al-Iftaa’s willingness to offer juristic support to the republic of Afghanistan. A tentative agreement was reached between the two sides to train Afghani clergymen at Dar al-Iftaa in the art of crafting legal verdicts and confronting extremist fatwas.
