Fatwa

A fatwa is a formal legal opinion or ruling issued by an Islamic scholar or authority on a specific issue within Islamic law (Sharia). It serves as guidance for Muslims on matters related to daily life, religion, ethics, or social issues. Fatwas can address a wide range of topics, from personal conduct to broader societal concerns. While not legally binding, they are respected within the community and can influence the actions and beliefs of Muslims seeking clarity on religious questions. Fatwas highlight the diversity of interpretations within Islam, reflecting regional and cultural differences.
