Dr. Amna Nosseir, a professor of jurisprudence at Al-Azhar University, has been calling on the Dar Al-Ifta to set up a council involving all specializations in all walks of life to thoroughly study public affairs of concern to major issues in society like organ transplants, bank profits and surrogate motherhood.


Dr. Abdel-Mo’ti Bayoumi, Chairman of the People’s Assembly Religious Committee, said that before fatwas are given, all the circumstances must be taken into account to the good of both the people and the Shari’a and this takes a lifelong study and scrutiny in religion and jurisprudence.
