According to Sheikh Mohamed Abdel Rahman, head of Cairo’s religious endowments, the body has communicated their concern over the Salafist takeover of Nour mosque in Abbasiya to the Supreme Council of the Armed Forces.
Abdel Rahman said that the endowments body have not been able to give prayer speeches or use the mosque after Sheikh Hafez Salama spearheaded a takeover, alleging that the endowments are misappropriating the mosque’s donations.
The Salafists took over Nour mosque, one of the biggest in central Cairo, on Friday.
