How to make sense of Islam today:

[baytalfatwa @baytalfatwa]

Not every scholar is a mufti.
A mufti is a specialist in Islamic law - trained to understand the legal tradition and apply it responsibly to real questions and real situations.
Serious questions require serious scholarship.

A fatwa is not a casual religious opinion.
It is a non-binding legal opinion issued by a qualified mufti in response to a real question.
It connects Islamic legal theory with lived reality — carefully, contextually and responsibly.

In 2007 and in cooperation with Bono of @u2 we installed two drinking fountains in Jardin de la Paix and Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat in the South of France. They still stand today and offer much needed relief to hikers and visitors of all walks of life.

“A fatwa goes through four major stages in the mufti’s mind before it is put in the form that the questioner hears or sees. These stages are: conceptualization (al-taṣwīr), designation (al-takyīf), the elucidation of the ruling (bayan al-ḥukm), and the issuing of the fatwa.”
