Fatwa (Issuance of Islamic legal opinions)

A fatwa is a formal legal opinion or ruling given by a qualified Islamic scholar on a specific issue related to Islamic law (Sharia). It addresses questions regarding ethics, morality, or legal matters, helping individuals or communities understand how to act in accordance with Islamic principles. While fatwas are influential, they are not universally binding and can vary between scholars, reflecting different interpretations of religious texts. People seek fatwas for guidance on various topics, from personal matters to social and economic issues, to ensure their actions align with their faith.
