Dar al-Ifta

Dar al-Ifta is a governmental or institutional body within an Islamic country responsible for issuing religious legal opinions called "fatwas." These fatwas help Muslims understand how to follow Islamic laws and principles in various aspects of life, such as personal conduct, finance, and social issues. The body provides guidance based on Islamic jurisprudence (Fiqh), ensuring that individuals and organizations can seek authoritative advice on religious matters. Essentially, Dar al-Ifta serves as a central authority for clarifying and applying Islamic law to contemporary questions, fostering religious understanding and cohesion within the Muslim community.
