Abu Dhabi: The newly-established UAE Fatwa Council will regulate religious Fatwas, ensure preaching of the true moderate values of Islam and combat extremism and radicalisation, scholars said on Monday.
Dr Mohammad Matar Al Ka’abi, chairman of the Abu Dhabi’s General Authority of Islamic Affairs and Endowments, said that UAE Fatwa Council will ensure alignment of fatwas (Islamic rulings) in the country and ensures preaching of moderate Islam.
“Unifying and regulating fatwa practices in the UAE will prevent personal or improvised Fatwas and rebut extremist and terrorist Fatwas, in keeping with the leading role played by the UAE in combating terrorism and radicalisation,” said Dr Al Ka’abi.
The UAE Cabinet on Sunday set up the UAE Fatwa Council — a single authority — to regulate fatwas and ensure preaching of the true moderate values of Islam.
