What is a mufti?
Career: Mufti
Muftis are Islamic legal scholars who are qualified to issue formal legal opinions, known as fatwas, on matters of Islamic law (Sharia). They possess extensive knowledge of the Quran, Hadith (sayings of the Prophet Muhammad), and other foundational Islamic texts. Muftis play a crucial role in guiding individuals and communities on religious and legal issues, helping to interpret Islamic law in everyday life. Their rulings are respected, but not always legally binding, depending on the country's legal system.
