Al-Azhar University’s International Islamic Center for Population Studies and Research (IICPSR) and UNFPA launched in 2021 the "Family Planning and the Opinions of Contemporary Imams of Jurisprudence" manual, with the support of the European Union (EU).

The manual brings to light the Islamic perspective on family planning from the most prestigious religious leaders in Egypt. It is used by religious leaders from the Ministry of Endowments and students from al-Azhar University.
