“The Sheikh is in good health, and he is currently in Britain for some medical tests . . . all that happened was that Sheikh Sadik fainted briefly due to exhaustion, and doctors had advised him to rest for some time,” said Najjar.
He added that the Grand Mufti had been planning to go to London for follow-up consultations relating to eye-surgery he had previously had in the UK and was already in possession of a British visa.
