Vice president of the Salafī Call, Dr. Yāsir Burhāmī, released a fatwá that forbids demonstrations to call for a reappointment of ousted Muhammad Morsi at the moment to prevent bloodshed and chaos. Burhāmī said on his website, “Salafī Voice,” that all demonstrations for the ousted president that occurred during the past days proved that the demonstrations are not peaceful, especially after some participants in the demonstrations had used guns against the police and army. This led to many acts of vandalism and chaos in Egypt. Burhāmī attacked the fatwás issued by the clerics of the supporters of the ousted president, which legitimated killing opponents of Morsi (Hamdī Dabsh, Osama al-Mahdī, and Mahmūd al-'Umrī, al-Masry al-Yawm, Aug. 22, p. 7). Read original text in Arabic.
