fatwa committees

Fatwa committees are panels of qualified Islamic scholars who provide religious rulings, known as fatwas, to address contemporary questions and issues. They interpret Islamic law (Sharia) based on the Quran, Hadith, and other sources, offering guidance to Muslims on matters like finance, ethics, or personal conduct. These committees are often found in mosques, Islamic organizations, or countries, and their decisions aim to help Muslims observe their faith correctly while adapting to modern contexts. Their authority varies depending on the community or country, but overall, they serve as knowledgeable bodies providing religious clarification.
