Palestinian Awqaf Minister Resigns After Video
Palestinian Minister of Awqaf (Endowments), Mohamed Naji, submitted his resignation to Prime Minister Dr. Mohamed Mustafa following widespread controversy sparked by a video showing him reciting the Ruqyah (Islamic healing prayer) to a young girl. In the video, he dips his prayer beads into a glass of water before offering it to her, claiming it was to ward off envy. The criticism focused on the religious and health validity of this act, with some followers opposing his behavior, considering it inconsistent with Islamic teachings and traditions. Others defended him, viewing it as a cultural expression of supplication and healing. The minister's resignation comes amid calls for clarification regarding the incident's religious basis and its implications.
