Syrian Islamic Council Dissolves Itself and All Its Institutions

The Syrian Islamic Council has announced the dissolution of itself and all its affiliated institutions, including the Fatwa Council and the Readers Council, after achieving a number of goals it was founded for, in response to the request of the new Syrian state following the fall of the Assad regime.

In a statement, the council noted that, "after months of liberation, it remembers the sacrifices of the martyrs, the wounded, the displaced, and the exiled who suffered for the sake of freedom," calling for mercy for the martyrs, healing for the wounded, and assistance for the disabled, hoping for the return of the displaced to their homes to contribute to the upcoming reconstruction phase.

The council pointed out that the revolution, and the confrontation of injustice and tyranny that accompanied it, necessitated the establishment of several revolutionary institutions to preserve the path and achieve the goals. The Islamic Council was one of the most prominent of these institutions, playing a pivotal legal and advocacy role, participating in unifying ranks, issuing important national documents, and keeping pace with various political developments through statements that influenced public awareness.

The council emphasized that the post-liberation phase requires the rebuilding of official institutions, including the religious institution, on new foundations that align with the changing reality. Therefore, it was decided to dissolve the revolutionary institutions to merge into the future national structure.
