“Mohammed al-Saeedi criticizes Al-Azhar’s positions on Salafism during Ahmed al-Tayeb’s tenure, pointing to the controversy sparked by the 2016 Grozny Conference statement. He notes that al-Tayeb later clarified that Salafis are among the Ahl al-Sunna and that the statement had not been presented to him, but argues that Al-Azhar’s subsequent positions did not reflect any clear reconsideration. He also discusses disputes over visiting shrines, seeking intercession, and calling upon the dead for help, as well as calls for rapprochement between Sunnis and Shiites. In his view, advocating coexistence and dialogue does not mean doctrinal compromise, and the differences go beyond the question of the imamate. He concludes that Al-Azhar, as an academic and educational institution, should adhere to what the author considers true Islam and avoid what he regards as religious innovations.”
