The Saudi authorities prevented the controversial Mufti Mohammad Al-Areefi travelling to Qatar. According to Al-Aalam he was called up for questioning and then told he was not allowed to go to Qatar.

According to Middle East Online informed sources reported that Areefi was due to take part in a conference in Qatar but informed the organisers on Thursday through his Twitter page that he was banned from travelling to Doha. Unlike Saudi rulers, Areefi is a supporter of Egypt’s Muslim Brotherhood and his remarks in Twitter attracted a lot of criticism. Al-Areefi supports demonstration for return of deposed Morsi and asked his supporters to send him the news and photos of the skirmishes in Egypt.
