The Muslim World League announced the termination of the membership of Qatar-based Egyptian cleric Yusuf al-Qaradawi on Friday, following his inclusion on a so-called "terror list" by Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Bahrain and Egypt.
The Saudi-backed organisation tweeted the announcement, saying that "based on the classification issued, the Islamic World League has ended the membership of Yusuf al-Qaradawi in the Islamic Fiqh Academy".
It also supported the states isolating Qatar with regards to their list of proscribed "terrorists" in a statement.
