Al-Azhar’s Sheikh Dr. Ahmed Al-Tayeb has decided to dismiss Dr. Ahmed Hosni, president of al-Azhar University, just three months after the latter took office.
Al-Tayeb made the decision on Friday to appoint Dr. Mohammed Hussein al-Mahrasawi, dean of the faculty of Arabic language at Cairo University, to replace Hosni as president starting on Saturday.
Hosni caused controversy earlier this year when he said that Christians who are interested in joining Al-Azhar University have to save and memorize the Quran first.
He added that the university is specialized in Islamic related sciences and want to teach students about both Islamic and general sciences."
