OUR MISSION

The primary goal of the Fatwa Centre, also known as the Dārul Iftā, is to answer ethical, legal, and spiritual questions of Muslims, as well as to provide solutions to problems related to their daily lives. Fatwa Centres are common in Muslim countries around the world, where members of the public can submit questions or visit a M***i to ask questions affecting their lives.

At our centre, we aim to make the resident jurist scholars available by phone, email and in-person. The public locally and around the world should eventually be able to use any of these mediums to reach the scholars at the Fatwa Centre for their queries.

We purely intend to serve the community and guide them to the right path.

The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: One who guides to something good has a reward similar to that of its doer (Ṣaḥīḥ Muslim).
