Minister of Endowments and Islamic Affairs Ahmed Al-Tawfiq confirmed that the opinion of the Supreme Scientific Council was in line with most of the seventeen issues submitted for legal review regarding the revision of the Family Code.
Al-Tawfiq indicated, during the working session chaired by His Majesty King Mohammed VI, that God assists him, at the Royal Palace of Casablanca, devoted to the theme of the revision of the Family Code, in a presentation that he presented to His Majesty the King, that after the Commander of the Faithful, in accordance with his wise decision, referred seventeen questions based on Sharia law, the opinion of the Supreme Scientific Council agreed with the majority of them and explained the ways in which some of them could agree with the requirements of Sharia law.
Al-Tawfiq added that three of them concern definitive texts that do not allow ijtihad, including inheritance between a Muslim and a non-Muslim.
It should be noted that Article 332 stipulates that there is no inheritance between a Muslim and a non-Muslim, nor between someone whose lineage is denied by Sharia law.
