The Department

The Department convenes weekly sessions known as the Majlis al-Iftāʾ, during which its members deliberate on legal questions, review draft fatāwā and research papers, and engage in collective discussion to ensure that every legal opinion and research paper is thoroughly scrutinised and refined. This practice stems from a profound reverence for the Sacred Law and reflects the Department's commitment to ensuring that every fatwā issued is as accurate, rigorous, and reliable as possible.
