Dr. ‘Abd al-Rahmān al-Barr, member of the Muslim Brotherhood’s Guidance Office (al-Irshād Office), issued a fatwá banning greeting Copts in Easter. The Muslim Brotherhood Muftī continued that the Resurrection of Jesus Christ is against Muslims’ doctrine because Jesus or ‘Isá (as Muslims say) did not die and was not crucified, so Muslims can not greet Christians with something that they do not believe in. As for other feasts, he added, like Christmas, Muslims can greet Christians because it does not conflict with Muslims’ doctrine. Al-Barr’s fatwá angered Copts who considered it an incitement to hatred. Shirīf Ramzī, coordinator of “Copts without Restriction” movement, said that this fatwá shows the hypocrisy of the Muslim Brotherhood. For his part, Dr. Muhammad al-Shahāt al-Jindī, member of Islamic Research Academy, said that al-Barr words are not correct and contradict the teachings of heavenly religions (Hānī al-Wazīrī and Mustafá Rahūmah, al-Watan, Apr. 30, p. 16). Read original text in Arabic.
