Al-Azhar head dies in Saudi Arabia
Tantawi wrote a number of books, including a 15-volume interpretation of the Quran [AFP]
Sheikh Mohammed Sayed Tantawi, Sunni Islam's most senior religious figure, has died during a visit to Saudi Arabia.
The 82-year-old Egyptian, who had previously undergone heart surgery, suffered a heart attack as he boarded a flight early Wednesday morning, Egyptian television said.
He was admitted to the Amir Sultan hospital in Riyadh where doctors proclaimed him dead.
Tantawi - who headed al-Azhar, Sunni Islam's highest seat of learning - was known for his controversial ban of the niqab, which he said had no basis in Islam.
He also wrote a number of books, including a 15-volume, 7,000-page encyclopedia on the interpretation of Quran.
His body is likely to be sent back to Cairo on Wednesday evening, local television said.

It has been narrated on the authority of Jâbir ibn Samura
that the Holy Prophet (Salla-LLahu 'aleihi wa sallam) said: "This religion (dîn) will continue to exist (lan yabraHa) and a group of the muslims will continue to fight (for its protection) until the Hour is established."
Ibn `Ata' Allah said in his Hikam:
The root of every disobedience, forgetfulness, and desire is contentment with the self, while the root of every obedience, vigilance, and continence is your dissatisfaction with it. That you accompany an ignorant who is not pleased with his self is better for you than to accompany a knowledgeable person who is pleased with his self. And what ignorance is that of one who is dissatisfied with himself? And what knowledge is that of one who is satisfied with himself?
