Qualifications of the members who give fatwa

Question

If you don't mind, can you tell me of your qualifications etc.

All perfect praise be to Allaah, The Lord of the Worlds, I testify that there is none worthy of worship except Allaah, and that Muhammad is His slave and Messenger, may Allaah exalt his mention as well as that of his family and all his companions.

Fatwa on this site go through many revisions before being published. There are many qualified scholars here who are responsible for writing a Fataawa in the Arabic language. These members work under the guidance of the director of the Fatwa section who is a Phd specialist in Fiqh and Arabic language.

The procedure of fatwa is as follows:

First: The Fatwa is written, and then an experienced committee of scholars review it. If the matter is easy and known in juristic books then the Fatwa is approved for translation. If the matter is complicated or needs deep study then it is discussed thoroughly amongst the committee members. They sit together, discuss the issue from various aspects in light of the related texts and the statements of scholars, then agree on the most preponderant view of the Islamic jurisprudence over that issue.

The scholars in our Fatwa center try their best when writing any Fatwa to reach the truth considering the soundness of the evidence, the circumstances of the incident and its particular context.

When they conclude the ruling, the Fatwa is then prepared for translation.

The translation section consists of translators who are versed in translating religious texts. After completing the translation a qualified English native speaker edits the document and finally, a qualified professional translator, who is in charge of the section reviews then approves it to be published.

Finally, we ask Allaah to bless Muslims, help them in their religious and worldly matters and forgive our mistakes.

Allaah Knows best.
