That the "General Secretariat for the Role of Fatwa Commissions in the World" adopts the proposed planning for establishing a unified website for the fatwa at the level of the Islamic world to serve as a front for offering an intermediate scholarly fatwa speech linked to the era and a wall to counter extremism in the fatwa. That the Fatwa institutions and bodies in the Islamic world have a clear role towards controlling fatwas that are published electronically on various websites and social media sites and give authority to those who are fit for fatwas, in order to address the phenomenon of chaos and extremism in the fatwa. 4. That the Fatwa institutions and bodies in the Islamic world have a clear role towards societal awareness of the danger of taking a fatwa from sources not qualified to play this great role, and the impact of that on the individual and society. And warn the public and others who address fatwas without knowledge, and alert them to the danger of this action. | ||
