Under the title "Why did the Grand Sheikh of Al-Azhar retreat from participation in building the church at Beheira?", a weekly newspaper published an article about Dr. Sayyed Tantawi, the Grand Sheikh of Al-Azhar, not participating in the founding ceremony of the Bishop Tadros Church in Hosh Eisa, Beheira. After the effort he made to permit the building of the church, he suddenly apologized for not attending the opening ceremony of the church. In my opinion, the absence is of His Eminence is an unexplained one. Is it to be understood from such behavior that the participation of Muslims, even with consultations, is Haram [religiously forbidden] because it is considered helping to spread a religion other than Islam?...
