Dar al-Fatwa voiced surprise on Sunday over a statement published by Al-Liwaa daily that says “certain party sections will handle the arrangements of the Grand Mufti of the Lebanese Republic Sheikh Mohammed Rashid Qabbani’s visit on the 2nd or the 3rd day of Eid al-Fitr to certain Lebanese Southern regions along the borders, as well as Arkoub and Chebaa farms.”
“The arrangement of the Grand Mufti’s visit to the South will be solely handled by the Public Relations Committee of Dar al-Fatwa”, Dar al-Fatwa press office said, adding they would not task any party or organizational sections with the arrangements for such visit and only the Lebanese Armed Forces (LAF) and Internal Security Forces (ISF) will be in charge of undertaking all necessary security measures for this visit.
