Egypt's Mufti Shawqi Allam instructed the employees fund of Dar al-Ifta to buy investment certificates in the new Suez Canal project with an amount of two million pounds.
The decision comes to support the Egyptian economy and as a contribution from the employees in Dar el-Ifta to the project, Allam said in press statements Monday.
Buying these certificates is "legitimate", he said.
Allam said that participating in supporting this project is a national duty for the future of Egypt.
