In an address to the opening session of the international conference on Iftaa on Monday, delivered on his behalf by Minister of Communications and Information Technology Amr Talaat, the premier said Egypt’s Dar Al Iftaa and the secretariat for Fatwa Authorities Worldwide have – well – benefited from this phase in the history of the homeland.

Madbouli said he is proud of meeting great scholars in this global conference, which, he added has become a distinguished annual platform that is interested in an important aspect in our life, given the fact that this year’s conference has to do with capitalizing on technological development for the sake of upgrading fatwas.
He said “Our homeland, under the leadership of President Abdel Fattah El Sisi has entered a new age, in which the state made use of all potentials to build digital Egypt as a strategy that IT is milestone in all aspects of life.”
The chance was available to all institutions in the state to accomplish their mission, given good plans of action and clear vision, he added.
