Conflicting Reports about Syrian Grand Mufti’s Visit to Bkirki
The visit of Syria’s Grand Mufti Ahmed Badreddine Hassoun to Beirut has been postponed indefinitely, al-Liwaa daily quoted an informed source as saying.
The source said Hassoun, who was planning to visit Bkirki to congratulate Maronite Patriarch Beshara al-Rahi on his stances from Syria, postponed his trip.
The source didn’t give any reason for the indefinite postponement.
Hassoun was also planning to visit Islamic spiritual leaders in Lebanon.
However, Lebanese religious sources told the Kuwaiti al-Anbaa newspaper that Hassoun will arrive in Bkirki on Wednesday at the head of an Islamic-Christian delegation.
The mufti told An Nahar daily on Saturday that his trip to Lebanon had become more essential after al-Rahi called for allowing Syrian President Bashar Assad to be given the chance to introduce reform.
