Salafi leader: Brotherhood agrees Sharia, not principles, to be legislative source
http://www.egyptindependent.com/news/salafi-leader-brotherhood-agrees-sharia-not-principles-be-legislative-source
"Prominent Salafi leader and preacher Yasser Borhamy has said that the Muslim Brotherhood has agreed with the Salafi vision to have a constitution that cites Sharia as the main source for the legislation, rather than the principles of Sharia. Article II of 1971 Constitution, which is copied into the current Constitutional Declaration, reads "Islam is the religion of the state. Arabic is its official language, and principles of Islamic jurisprudence (Sharia) are the main source of legislation." A 1979 amendment had replaced "a main source" with "the main source."According to legal experts, deleting the word "principles" means that Sharia will play a bigger role in drafting legislation.In an interview with Al-Shorouk newspaper on Saturday, Borhamy said, "we insist that the article states that 'Islamic Sharia law is the main source of legislation,' not 'the principles of Sharia.'We will not give up on this matter. The Muslim Brotherhood assured us that they agree with us on the formula of Islamic Sharia law without [mentioning] 'principles.'"

"A panel of Islamic scholars has issued a fatwa, or religious decree, that would prohibit voting for any presidential candidate who does not intend to apply Sharia. Muslim voters are obliged to elect a president who plans to apply Islamic law, according to a statement late Monday by the Jurisprudence Commission for Rights and Reform. The commission represents the largest informal gathering of representatives of Islamic groups, such as the Muslim Brotherhood, Salafis and independent preachers. Commission members include Salafi preachers Mohamed Ismail al-Moqaddem and Yasser Borhamy, as well as Muslim Brotherhood Deputy Supreme Guide Khairat al-Shater. The commission's website says it also includes doctors, researchers, scientists, teachers and lawyers of various Islamic orientations."
