About Us

The aim of Shafiifiqh.com, a part of the Shafi’i Institute, is to revive and support the the Sunni Islamic jurisprudence of the guild (madhhab) of Imam Muhammad ibn Idris Ash-Shafi’i (May Allah have mercy upon him and be please with him). This support includes, but is not limited to, answering the questions and/or doubts that followers of the Shafi’i school may have in respect to Islamic jurisprudence (fiqh). Shafiifiqh.com was created to help fill the void of Sunni (traditional) knowledge in western languages. Currently we have a Dutch (Nederlands) site, and translated fatawa into french too (www.shafiifiqh.com/francais).

Questions, suggestions, comments, and complaints are always welcome. We look forward to being a reliable source for the Shafi’i Sunnis in their endeavor to seek authentic knowledge as they fulfill the obligation of seeking religious ‘ilm as orderd by our beloved Prophet Muhammad when he said,

“Seeking knowledge is obligatory upon every Muslim!”

This narration was deemed weak in chain by the great Shafi’i Imam, An-Nawawi, though he declared the wording and meaning correct (sahih). The Shafi’i Muhaddith (scholar of hadith), Imam Al-Mizzi, declared this narration Hasan (of good standing).

May Allah help us all in our endeavor to learn and master the school of Imam Ash-Shafi’i, Amin!
