The majority of Muslims in Egypt are Sunni.
While Islam is the predominant religion in Egypt, practiced by approximately 90% of the population, there's a notable distinction within the Muslim community.
-
Sunni Muslims: The vast majority of Egyptian Muslims identify as Sunni. They primarily follow the Maliki school of jurisprudence, although other Sunni legal schools are also represented.
-
Shia Muslims: Shia Muslims constitute a small minority within the Egyptian Muslim population.
Therefore, to reiterate, the dominant Islamic affiliation in Egypt is Sunni.
