Riyadh : Saudi Arabia’s Grand Mufti Sheikh Abdul Aziz Alu Al Sheikh, who is also chairman of the Senior Scholars’ Commission and Religious Research Department and Ifta, has clarified that what has been published in some newspapers, quoting some news agencies, that he had invited a group of Jewish rabbis to take part in a religious reconciliation conference to be held in Riyadh is categorically untrue and baseless, according to Saudi Press Agency.
Citing a verse from the Holy Quran, the Mufti called for verifying baseless news that might cause harm to others. The verse reads as follows “O you who believe! If a sinner comes to you with any news, ascertain the truth, lest you harm people unwittingly, And afterwards become full of repentance for what you have done”.
