The extradition order was issued following a formal extradition request submitted by the Central Authority in the UAE, represented by the Ministry of Justice, to the Central Authority in the Republic of Lebanon, in accordance with the principle of reciprocity and the relevant domestic laws and regulations of both countries.
Al Qaradawi is an Egyptian opposition activist wanted by Cairo and the son of the late spiritual leader of the Muslim Brotherhood.
His father, Yusuf Al Qaradawi, was a prominent Sunni scholar and the spiritual leader of the Muslim Brotherhood which is outlawed in Egypt. The late scholar was imprisoned several times in Egypt over his links to the Muslim Brotherhood. He died in 2022 after decades in exile in Qatar.
Al Qaradawi was a political organiser against the government of longtime Egyptian leader Hosni Mubarak, who was toppled in 2011 in the Arab Spring uprising.
He later became a vocal opponent of current Egyptian leader Abdel Fattah Al Sisi who in 2013 overthrew elected president Mohamed Mursi of the Muslim Brotherhood.
