Sharia councils

Sharia councils are organizations that offer legal and religious guidance to Muslim individuals seeking assistance with personal or family issues, such as marriage, divorce, and inheritance. They operate based on Islamic law (Sharia) and often provide mediation or arbitration services. While they can help resolve disputes within Muslim communities, they are not official government courts and their decisions may not be legally binding outside the community. Their role varies by country and context, serving as a religious authority that respects Islamic principles while often complementing secular legal systems.
