Salafists are using fatwás for the first time during the coming elections against liberals and secularists. Fatwás also were used by Sūfīs but in their battle against salafists.

A number of Salafists leaders had issued several fatwás such as: those who do not vote for a Muslim candidate is a false witness, voting for elections is a farīdah and considered jihād, parliament is the path to heaven, and finally voting for the Coptic remnants, secularists and non-prayers is unlawful.
