The Centre for Islamic Decrees and Doctrines (Dār al-iftā’ wa-l aqāʿid) by Dr Kumail Rajani

Dr. Rajani explained the dynamics of the abovementioned Centre,  explaining how scholars from various denominations come together and  attempt to give unified responses to some of the questions and  challenges facing Muslims today. Dr. Rajani clarified the processes and  methods that the Centre employs to try and arrive at jointly agreed  opinions, which are then disseminated in the form of online statements.

Hitherto,  the Centre has produces 43 statements, ranging from jurisprudential  issues – like the permissibility of consuming stunned meat – to  theological matters – like the finality of the prophethood of Prophet  Muhammad (pbuh). The Centre’s work has shown what can be achieved when  Muslims work together despite the differences in their ideological and  even theological stances.
