Abu Ishaq Al Heweny (Arabic: أبو إسحاق الحوينى, born June 1956) is regarded as a Salafi scholar.[1][2][3] Born in the village of Hewen in Kafr el-Sheikh Governorate in Egypt. He issued a fatwa against Hamed Abdel-Samad in 2013 for writing a book on islamofascism.[4][5] In 2015, the Egyptian Ministry of Religious Endowments initiated a campaign to remove any books authored by Salafi scholars including Al Heweny from all mosques in Egypt.[2]
