It now serves the important role of allowing scholars to synthesize between modern-day challenges and traditional texts. The Menstrual Matters Project is the latest initiative to emerge from Whitethread, with the objective of educating women on menstruation and post-natal bleeding, as well as other related subjects. Empowered with this knowledge, they will be able to execute their sacred devotions in accordance with the Shari‘ah.

The website is headed by Hanif Yusuf. He completed the memorisation of the Holy Qur‘an and the ‘Alimiyyah programme at a Darul-Uloom (an Islamic seminary) in U.K. He thereafter travelled to Darul Iftaa Mahmudiyyah, Durban, South Africa, to train as a Mufti under the tutelage of Mufti Ebrahim Desai and Mufti Husain Kadodia (may Allah preserve them both. Ameen).
Darul Fiqh literally means ‘The Centre for Understanding’.
The aim of Darul Fiqh is to facilitate the learning, understanding and practising of the Islamic faith.
Darul Fiqh was established in 2011 and has answered over 5,000 queries from across the globe. Darul Fiqh deals with real questions and strives to provide pragmatic yet authentic solutions to contemporary questions.
Darul Iftaa (Institute of Islamic Jurisprudence) aims to provide insight into the Islamic perspective on personal, social, and global issues. We hope to enrich understanding, debate, and discussion by providing an Islamic dimension to queries and specific concerns.
Darul Iftaa is headed by: Mufti Muhammad ibn Adam Al-Kawthari.
Darul Ifta Birmingham was established in July 2006 by local scholars who felt that the Muslim community needed a platform to express their voice and questions. Living in a society stimulated by materialism and cultural superstitions, Muslims often find themselves neglecting the noble value of spiritual life. Personal and communal issues of the Muslim community are often brushed aside and not brought to the forefront. Darul Ifta Birmingham, by the grace of Almighty Allāh subḥānahu wa taʻāla was formed for the Muslim community to deal with the concerns and issues of the wider Muslim society.
Darul Ifta operates on a question and answer basis, allowing people to submit their questions on the Darul Ifta website and these questions are subsequently answered by one of the muftīs and can be viewed through the archives on the website.
Darul Ifta, though based in Birmingham, runs with the assistance, duʻās and regular rectification by the senior muftīs of Darul Uloom, Bury. The support and help from these senior muftīs is sincerely appreciated, and may Allāh subḥānahu wa taʻāla reward them for all their help. Āmīn.

Assalaamu Alaykum,
Tafseer Raheemi was initially created by some Muslim brothers with the intention of spreading the meaning and message of the holy Quran.
Shaykh-ul-Hadith Hadhrat Mawlana Abdul Raheem (hafidhahullah) has a good command on the Tafseer of Quran and is well versed with Hadith shareef. He delivers lectures in local Masaajid and helps the Muslim community by creating Islamic awareness among fellow Muslims. He also guides people along the path of Tasawwuf.
This website is to offer that guidance to the wider community around the globe.
Jazakallah for taking your time out to visit us. We hope you will not be disappointed, please continue to visit us; Your support will encourage us to do more. If you don’t like something on this site, tell us. If you do like something, tell others.
Question: Please explain as to who are Wifaqul Ulama and the Scholars who support it? Can I get the name of some of the major British Scholars who support your stance on Moon Sighting? Why are Wifaqul Ulama only concerned with Moon? Doesn’t the Ummah have bigger problems?
In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
As-salāmu ‘alaykum wa-rahmatullāhi wa-barakātuh
We would like to begin by extending our gratitude to you for asking this question. May Allah (SWT) give you the best of rewards (Ameen).
