"It is a shame that the conquest of Istanbul is defined as an occupation"

Karadağı stated that Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) pointed to the conquest with this hadith: “Istanbul will definitely be conquered. What a beautiful commander who conquered it, what a beautiful army that conquered it.”

Stating that the institutions in Egypt are politicized, Karadağı said, “The definition of the conquest of Istanbul as an Ottoman occupation is a dangerous corruption and an embarrassment for the Egyptian Fatwa Institution.”

The Egyptian Fatwa Institution described the conquest of Istanbul as an “occupation”. (ILKHA)
