He stressed the importance of the message of the Two Holy Mosques in clarifying the correct methodology in fatwa, enhancing its role, status, and position in the hearts of Muslims, and spreading the Islamic methodology with its principles, branches, rulings, and legislation based on moderation and balance to the entire world.
