Multilingual Fatwa Encyclopedia Planned in Egypt

Egypt’s foreign ministry plans to publish a multi-lingual encyclopedia of Fatwas (religious edicts).

The encyclopedia will be published in Arabic, English, French and a local African language, IINA news agency reported. 

The ministry in a statement said the move is aimed at introducing the true Islam based on accurate Fatwas that are not tainted with extremism.  

It said the encyclopedia will be published in cooperation with the Office for Fatwa Affairs, after an agreement was signed between the two bodies. 

According to the agreement, the two sides also agreed to take other steps to present the true image of Islam, especially through the Al-Azhar Islamic center. 

Publication of a monthly magazine in English and other languages containing major Muslim world news is among other activities planned according to the agreement.
