Al-Azhar's Shiekh Tantawi visits with Sheikh Yassin

The Sheikh of Al-Azhar, Dr. Mohammed Sayyed Tantawi, visited Sheikh Ahmed Yassin, the spiritual leader of the Islamic resistance movement (Hamas), in his private suite in an Egyptian hospital.

The Palestinian leader said he considered Sheikh Tantawi's visit to be a great honor as a religious statement, which reflects the feelings of Al-Azahr as to Sheikh Yassin's positions toward Islam and Jerusalem.
