Grand Imam of Al Azhar Dr Ahmed el Tayyeb on Friday telephoned Egypt's former mufti Ali Gomaa, who earlier escaped unharmed from an assassination attempt in Cairo, a statement said.
Tayyeb inquired after Gomaa's condition, the statement added.
Al Azhar condemned the failed assassination attempt, thanking Allah for the safety of Gomaa, who serves as a member of the body's Council of Senior Scholars.
Gomaa survived an attempted shooting as he was entering a mosque in the 6th of October city, where he was present to lead the weekly prayers. His personal bodyguard was slightly injured.
