Abu Ishaq al-Heweny (Arabic: أبو إسحاق الحوينى, born 10 June 1956[2]) is regarded as a Salafi scholar.[3][4][5] 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.[6][7] 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.[4]
