Muhammad Mukhtār Jum‘a, Minister of Religious Endowments, has refused the demands of shaykhs of the Salafi Call to review the law on the practice of preaching and giving religious lessons in mosques, calling for adherence to the terms of the law. Muhammad Salāh Khalīfa, a member of the Media Committee for the Nūr Party, said it would encourage its members to join Azharite institutions to obtain official permits allowing them to preach.
