What is Your Eminence's opinion on voting for the new Egyptian constitution, which does not unequivocally stipulate governance by God's law?

Article 2 of the Constitution stipulates that Islam is the religion of the State and that the principles of Islamic Sharia are the main source of legislation. Article 219 interprets the principles of Sharia as encompassing general proofs, jurisprudential and usuli (principles of Islamic jurisprudence) rules, and the recognized sources within the schools of thought of Ahl al-Sunnah wa al-Jama’ah. This means that whatever contradicts Sharia is invalid. This article is supreme over the rest of the articles of the Constitution and laws. Ambiguous articles of the Constitution must be interpreted in its light. Provisions such as "sovereignty is for the people," "legislative authority," and "respect for human rights and freedoms" are restricted by what is stipulated in the Constitution, meaning by what does not contradict Sharia. The opinion of the Council of Senior Scholars at Al-Azhar is sought in matters related to Sharia. Issues of Sharia-based governance (siyasah shar'iyyah) should be referred to the scholars of each country.
