Shaykh Yousuf al-Badrī, leader of the hisba [the right of a Muslim to defend public morality, suing on behalf of religion] group in Egypt, filed a lawsuit before the administrative court of the Council of State for canceling the membership of Rajā’ī ‘Atīya, a member of the Islamic Research Institute affiliated to the Azhar.


Shaykh al-Badrī is arguing that ‘Atīya does not fulfill the conditions required to become a member. He also added that ‘Atīya adopted anti-Islamic viewpoints.
