Is the head of Al-Husayn, may Allah be pleased with him, present in Cairo at the Al-Husayn Mosque as is claimed, and why does Al-Azhar remain silent about the actions carried out inside the mosque and about the teaching of Sufi and philosophy lessons therein, and what should be our stance towards those who go to this mosque and commit polytheistic acts?
