The ruling comes after the court consulted Egypt grand Mufti, the religion body that interpretes Islamic law who plays an advisory role, Aljazeera news network reported. The rulling was read out by Judge Shaaban al-shami. The Mufti's opinions are not binding, and ruling will be transfer to Egypt's highest appeal Court for final judgement.
