Mogadishu, (SONNA) – The Prime Minister of the Federal Government of Somalia, Mr. Hamza Abdi Barre, laid the foundation stone for the Daarul-Iftaa center of the Somali Scholars Council. The new facility will serve as a hub for issuing religious rulings and providing faith-based guidance to the Somali public.
