Books – Ali Shebl:
One of the science councils of Dr. Ali Gomaa, the former Grand Mufti and a member of the Council of Senior Scholars, witnessed a rebuke from the sheikh to some of his students. They tried to leave his council to move to one of the other sheikhs at the Al-Azhar Al-Sharif Mosque, which sparked interaction and controversy over: “The children who rose up in countries. Salafism Dol or else..?” Then he directed his words to them and asked them: “Why are you staying, Wadi? You and him are… where are you going?”.
One of the departed students replied: “We are going to Sheikh Mustafa… Mustafa Al-Azhari.” He asked them: Who is Sheikh Mustafa, and the response came to him that he was Sheikh Mustafa Reda, which aroused the resentment of the former mufti.
A member of the Council of Senior Scholars continued, amidst the laughter of the audience: “You did this while we were in the lesson. He says, “This is a very strange thing! By God, I have never seen anything like this. We are really at the end of time.”
After the video spread on the communication sites, activists were divided between a supporter of the sheikh and a critic, as some criticized Juma’s behavior and his embarrassment to young students, and others described the students’ departure as a lack of respect for a great scholar to get up from his council and they started sitting from the ground up.
