A number of prominent Ulema from all over the world discussed for over five days major areas for fatwas.   Muslim World League (MWL) Secretary General Dr. Abdullah Bin Abdulmohsen Al-Turki said participants at the conference focused in their research how fatwa should follow the moderate path and avoid provocation, conflicts, discord, and views which may negatively affect some Muslim youths.   The audience was attended by Grand Mufti and head of the MWL founding council Sheikh Abdulaziz Bin Abdullah Aal Al-Sheikh. – SPA As salaamou alikum waRahmatuallahi waBarakatu.....Freedom is Islam, so take hold of the Rope of Allaah(azz wal Jal) never let go.
