Fiqh al-Aqalliyat

Fiqh al-Aqalliyat refers to the Islamic jurisprudence governing minority Muslim communities living within non-Muslim-majority societies. It addresses their specific needs, rights, and obligations, considering challenges like limited access to religious facilities, societal integration, and legal recognition. The goal is to support Muslims in practicing their faith while respecting the laws of their country, ensuring religious rights are maintained without conflicting with civic laws. This specialized legal framework helps preserve Islamic principles in diverse social contexts, promoting harmony, religious identity, and community cohesion for Muslims in minority settings.
