Since September 11th, the US has specified a number of conditions on Azhar imams who visit the Muslim community in Ramadan. Having passed a test in fiqh (Islamic jurisprudence) and Shari’a (Islamic law), the Azhar selects the imams who receive the highest marks to preach to the Muslim community in the US. Then, the American Embassy examines the Azhar list of names lest any of the mentioned should be on the black list. Afterwards, those imams must follow certain procedures set by the US Embassy.
