Outgoing Libyan Prime Minister Abdul Hamid Dabaiba visited al-Sadiq al-Ghariani, the former Mufti of Libya, at home in Tajoura, east of Tripoli, a government source told The Libya Update.
Al-Ghariani Requested a budget for Dar Al-Ifta to support his religious schools, according to the source.
Dabaiba asked al-Ghariani for support by his Islamist militias, including Mahmoud bin Rajab and Bashir al-Buqra groups, in any possible military confrontation, the source pointed out.
Al-Ghariani requested during the meeting to change the Head of the General Authority for Auqf (Endowments), describing him as “Madkhali”.
Al-Ghariani is interested in the Zakat Fund and the huge amounts of money in it, said the source.
Al-Ghariani asked Dabaiba to release terrorists at the Deterrence Force prisons, affiliated to the Shura Councils of Benghazi, Derna, and Ajdabiya groups as an initial step to support the Prime Minister militarily, it added.
