H.E. Prof. Koutoub Moustapha Sano, Secretary-General of the Academy, chaired the 112th weekly meeting of departments’ directors, on Monday 08th Rabi’ al-Akhir 1445, corresponding to 23rd October 2023, at the headquarters of the Secretariat General in Jeddah.

At the beginning of the meeting, His Excellency welcomed everyone, then spoke about his participation in the Eighth International Conference on the Roles and Fatwa Bodies in the World on “Fatwa and the Challenges of the Third Millennium” in the Arab Republic of Egypt. His Excellency delivered a speech at the opening session on behalf of His Excellency Mr. Hussein Ibrahim Taha, Secretary-General of the Organization of Cooperation. His Excellency expressed his thanks and gratitude to the leadership and people of Egypt for holding this noble conference, congratulating H.E. Sheikh Professor Dr. Shawqi Allam, on this distinguished preparation and wonderful organization of this conference. His Excellency also indicated that this conference is being held at a critical historical moment for the entire Ummah and the entire world. It is the moment when the Ummah faces the most horrific, brutal massacre known to humanity in this third millennium, those crimes committed by the arrogant Zionist entity in occupied Palestine. His Excellency called on the world to stop the aggression and injustice to which the Palestinian people are being exposed by the brutal occupation forces, through the relentless bloodshed, shameless assault on honor, and destruction of homes, hospitals, and mosques.

The meeting discussed the previous decisions and resulted in several new decisions, notably:

• Beginning preparations for the 26th session of the Academy.
• Providing a plan and vision for rearranging and classifying the Academy’s library.
• Calling for male and female participants in the symposium on violence against women.
