The councils were distinguished by their comprehensive explanation, linking the rulings to their legal evidence, and answering the questions of the attendees, in a way that contributes to raising jurisprudential awareness, correcting concepts, and enhancing the practical understanding of the rulings on purity, as they are an essential entry point for the validity of prayer and other acts of worship.
The councils’ activities continue from Sunday until Thursday, and are supervised by an elite group of master’s and doctorate holders and distinguished imams from the Ministry of Endowments, within the framework of the directorate’s keenness to combine scientific originality and advocacy competence.
The scholars were keen to simplify the accurate jurisprudential information with good presentation, which pleased the mosque-goers who praised the level of the lecturers scientifically, morally and in advocacy, praying to God Almighty for continued success and payment.
