Ministry of Religious Foundations (Egypt)
The Ministry of Religious Foundations ( Arabic وزارة الأوقاف, DMG Wizārat al-Auqāf ) is part of the Egyptian government.
Basics
Egyptian rulers do not prove a descent from Mohammed for their legitimation . The Wazir al-Auqaf is used by secular rulers to assert their claims to power in the religious sphere and to generate religious authority. The Egyptian state is a state with economically relevant groups that also belong to religious communities other than Islam . If these religious groups have foundations in Egypt, the Minister for Foundations under Islamic Law is responsible for them.
For reasons of power economy, the considerations of Islamic law by the ministers for foundations under Islamic law are feudally tolerant .
Historical peculiarities
In the dynasty of Muhammad Ali the office was also called " Dīwān al-Awqaf" , for which a Shāhid al-Awqāf , a notarized witness of the Awqāf (Arabic plural of Waqf ), checked the accounts of the Awqāf .
In 1971 a Waqf Authority was established which confiscated land from the Coptic Church .
