H.E. Prof. Koutoub Moustapha Sano, Secretary-General of the International Islamic Fiqh Academy, chaired the fifty-second regular meeting of divisions’ heads, on Thursday 11 Rabi’ al-Akhir 1445, corresponding to 26 October 2023, at the headquarters of the Secretariat General in Jeddah.

His Excellency began the meeting by welcoming everyone and thanking them for their commitment to attending the meetings, then spoke about “the abuse of the right,” noting that everyone has the right to take (ordinary leave), but the abuse of this right occurs when existing work is left behind and there is no one to do it. Such actions will lead to the disruption of urgent ongoing work, reminding everyone of the need to be honest and truthful in dealing with the institution, and to feel a sense of responsibility towards the Islamic nation, and that the moral responsibility is grave for all of us to perform our duty to the fullest and most brilliant image.

The attendees then discussed the items on the meeting’s agenda, and new decisions were issued, notably:

• Prepare the third-year newsletters, and publish it in one volume as in the previous two years.
• Sending the latest copy of employees’ CVs to be included in the book of the Academy’s members in a special chapter for the Academy’s employees.
• Working on holding the symposium “The Family Foundation: Challenges and Prospects,” proposed to be held in Istanbul in cooperation with the Islamic Youth Forum in Turkey, and reviewing the research in this regard.
