Some important sections of the website:

 

There is a special and permanent page on the website for Fatawa.  Questions come from different corners of the world.  Mufti Sahab in his particular style answers them satisfactorily with all references.  The answered questions are kept on the website forever and visitors can easily go through them.

 

This section is very important in that if any arises at any time and there is no one to provide a solution and/or for those people who live in foreign countries, where there is no authentic source for Islamic guidance, can easily avail of this online facility and find out the solution to their problems.  If not there, they can send it and the question will be answered.  This section is fully searcheable as well.

 

Current issues:

 

The more the world progresses the larger the number of issues are cropping up, which are not explicitly mentioned in the Holy Quran and neither are they to be found in the corpus of Fiqh (jurisprudential) literature left to us by the Fuqaha (Jurisprudents).  In these cases, the present day scholars give the ruling in light of the Holy Quran and Hadith and the rulings given by the previous jurisprudents.

 

By the grace of Allah Ta’ala, Mufti Sahab has described the Islamic point of view on many jurisprudential issues like test tube baby, DNA testing, share business, future sale, short sale, Marginal sale, ruling on listening to the verses of the Holy Quran through a loud speaker, Wuzu with contact lenses, online Qurbani, Shariah ruling on web designing, bank deposit, bank interest, chatting on the internet, etc.

 

Burning topic:

 

Nowadays, the world has become a global village.  Anything that happens anywhere gets reported to all the parts of the world.  Those who oppose Islam try to demean Islam and its rules at regular intervals.  They try to present anything that happens as a limitation of Islamic law.  If this happens, then to present the true picture of Islam, to answer the criticisms and objections raised by others, this section has been started.

 

Mufti Sahab has written many articles/papers for this section.  They include, but are not limited to, April Fool and Islam, World Peace Day, World Water Day, World Health Day, Valentine Day – A rite of immodesty, New Year and our responsibilities, Shariah Ruling about DNA testing, Homosexuality – A rebellion against nature, The truth behind following any of the 4 Imams, Issues of Qurbani in present day, message of Eid, 20 Raka’at Taraweeh in the light of the Hadith and the Traditions of the Sahabah, Zakaat in modern times, etc.
