<p></p> <p><b>New page</b></p><div>Fatwa has been translated by many as an 'opinion' but its correct definition in conformity with the Arabic language is; 'Directive', 'Instruction' or 'Giving guidance by advice.'<br /> <br /> In the [[Quran]], [[Allah]] says, &quot;They ask thee for a legal decision. Say: God directs (thus) about those who leave no descendants as ascendants as heirs...&quot; ([[Quran]] 4:176)<br /> <br /> Sheikh Jafar Subhani comments on this verse by saying, &quot;Fatwa means to give an answer to a question that has been asked.&quot; (Book: تاريخ الفقه الاسلامي)<br /> <br /> In [[Shari'ah]], a fatwa is the guidance and instruction given by a Scholar (often called [[Mufti]]) who use the principles of Islamic jurisprudence in order to derive rulings from various sources ([[Quran]], [[Hadith]] etc).</div>
