Jeddah Grand Mufti on Women’s Rights
The article focuses on the participation of the Grand Mufti of Egypt, Dr. Nizar Yaiad, in an international seminar in Jeddah concerning the role of religious leaders in combating violence against women. Yaiad emphasized that the responsibility for addressing violence against women lies with all levels: legislative, social, and religious. He considered that correcting misconceptions and promoting a culture of respect and compassion within families and society are among the most important roles to be undertaken by religious institutions. He pointed out that protecting women's dignity is one of the objectives of Islamic Sharia law, and that wise religious discourse can contribute to preventing violence by raising societal awareness and confronting misguided interpretations that justify abuse. This participation is part of efforts to promote women’s rights and protection, and to combat all forms of violence through cooperation between religious institutions and specialists, with the aim of building stable families and a more cohesive society.
