The Ministry of Islamic Affairs, Call, Guidance, and Endowment has instructed mosque imams across the Kingdom not to issue a fatwa to any inquirer. The memo circulated recently asked the imams to refer inquirers to fatwas issued by members of the Senior Board of Ulema wherever their questions fit. The instruction has come after repeated fatwas from the imams have contradicted fatwas issued by the members of the Senior Board of Ulema, the highest religious authority in the Kingdom.
