Salafists Protest Moroccan Justice Minister’s Proposed Family Code Reforms

While its content is not yet known, the reform of the Family Code is the subject of lively controversies. The Salafists are displaying their opposition to the reform, particularly the possible changes to the articles dealing with adultery, the way in which the flagrant offense will have to be established, but also the possible changes aimed at modernizing the legislation and which the minister considers "not contradictory" with the principles of religion, reports the Arabic-language daily Assabah.

On the web, the Salafist Hassan El Kettani, who is at the forefront of the fight against the reform, believes that it touches on the principles of the family. He has therefore called on the preachers and imams of the mosques who follow him to warn the faithful of the "conspiracy" of this reform against Islam and all its followers to devote their prayers to the Minister of Justice, so that "God may preserve us from evil".
