DARUL IFTAA

IIE’s Darul Iftaa has a unique and carefully crafted curriculum that combines a mix of traditional and contemporary works taught in English with academic critique and practical application. The majority of the time is spent in thorough and well-referenced research of questions, alongside the individual reading of various books of the fatwa. Students receive training in English grammar and style, as well as practical workshops on numerous contemporary issues conducted by professionals in the relevant fields, such as doctors, lawyers, chemists, and Islamic finance executives.

The syllabus and curriculum can be accessed by clicking here.

Admission into the two-year Iftaa program is reserved for students who have graduated from a traditional madrasah based on the Dars Nizami curriculum. Students must be self-motivated, passionate about fiqh, and in good standing with their teachers.

Our Iftaa program maintains high academic and spiritual standards, and it certainly does not guarantee entrance into its second year or graduation at the end of the second year if a student does not meet expectations. Students maintain a log of their work and worship, and they are informed multiple times throughout the year on their progress.

Those who are interested may apply through online application.
