Minister of Endowments: Expanding the powers of the Jurisprudence Scientific Council is a very big step in the process of religious reform

Damascus (ST): The Minister of Endowments, Dr. Muhammad Abdul-Sattar al-Sayyid, confirmed that expanding the powers of the Jurisprudence Scientific Council in the ministry is a very big step, as the Holy Qur’an has always commanded reform. “By expanding the council’s powers, the individual fatwa was transferred to the collective, and thus it is the largest reform process taking place on the religious side.” Minister al-Sayyid said in an interview with Al-Suriya TV  last night, adding “when we look at the importance of the decree expanding the powers of the council, we must bear in mind that the years of the terrorist war against Syria witnessed the raising of slogans and the use of abnormal fatwas that led to bloodshed and the destruction of the country, although Syria has always been a model of religious brotherhood and pluralism.”
