Muslim Council of Elders Congratulates Egypt’s Dar al-Iftaa on the 130th Anniversary of Its Establishment
The Muslim Council of Elders, under the chairmanship of His Eminence Prof. Dr. Ahmed Al-Tayeb, the Grand Imam of Al-Azhar, extends congratulations to Egypt’s Dar al-Iftaa on the occasion of its 130th anniversary. Dar al-Iftaa remains one of the most venerable religious institutions in the Islamic world, having played a pivotal role for over a century in consolidating Al-Azhar’s enlightened, moderate methodology and enhancing societal awareness through responsible and principled fatwa issuance.
The Council commends Dar al-Iftaa’s pioneering contributions to the disciplined practice of iftāʾ, the promotion of moderate Islamic thought, the reinforcement of social stability, and the entrenchment of values of compassion and coexistence. It also affirms that Dar al-Iftaa stands as an outstanding model of rigorous, institutional religious scholarship both within Egypt and across the Muslim world.
