Mustafa Abdul-Jalil, chairman of the National Transitional Council, said last month that Shariah law would be the main source of legislation in the new Libya.
But he stressed it would reflect a moderate Islam. Other leaders said the matter is still to be decided.
The 250 Muslim leaders met in Tripoli on Monday for a conference organized by the Ministry of Islamic Affairs. They were seeking a common voice on pressing issues for Libya.
They urged leaders to deal with tribal tensions and disarm the ex-rebels who toppled Muammar Qaddafi, calling them “mujahedeen.”
