(Anadolu) Belgium’s top court has issued a decision opening the way for Muslim imams in the country’s Flemish region to get salaries from abroad and similar arrangements.
In October 2021, a decree was issued in the Flemish region prohibiting direct or indirect support or financing to places of worship from abroad — including the payment of salaries to imams working in mosques. …
The Belgian Islamic Coordination Council, represented by several local Muslim groups, challenge[d] the decree at the Constitutional Court, which Thursday overturned certain provisions of the decree, saying that they violated religious freedom.
