A Strange Islamic Fatwa Against Building Churches

Cairo University: a professor in the faculty of law, lecturing his students, stated: “a will, if devoted to building hospitals for Muslims as well as non-Muslims, as a work of goodness and charity, brings that man closer to God. This is a principle agreed on by all the interpreters of Foqaha. BUT, if the will is devoted to building churches, it is forbidden and sinful, as agreed by all the Islamic Foqaha”.

Dr. Naguib Gibraeel, President of the Egyptian Union Organization for Human Rights wrote to Al-Azhar University and the Eygption State asking if this fatwa is their plan and position concerning building churches in Egypt. Gibraeel said that the state teaches and assigns hatred to building churches, as announced in both “Dar el-Eftta”, the council for Islamic interpretations of laws in Islam, and in the University of Cairo.

According to Mohammed Naguib Awadein el-Maghrabbi, deputy chief of the Faculty of Law, at Cairo University, the book is a subject to be studied by third year students. Muslims and Copts mention that a will, if devoted by a Christian for building a Church, is forbidden and sinful and is considered in Islam as separation from God. So it is also illegal if a non-Muslim wills his inheritance towards building a Church or a synagogue.
The interpretation of the council of Islamic Fatwa of Egypt also stated in its latest fatwa, that the will of a Muslim towards building a Church is a sin against God, just as if he left his inheritance towards building a Casino for gambling, or building a shed for pigs, cats or dogs. This Fatwa is documented by number 1809/ year 2008. The original text is written and sealed by the authority of the higher Fatwa Council in Cairo.
