If so, the Whitethread Fatwa Enhancement Programme is for you!
Many Ifta’ graduates find it challenging to further develop their skills after completing their studies, especially if they are not actively affiliated with a Dar al-Ifta’ or answering questions regularly. To address this gap, Whitethread Institute is offering a short-term programme designed to help Ifta’ graduates reconnect with the art of fatwa writing and refine their research and writing skills.
Programme Highlights:
Interactive Daily Sessions: Weekday sessions from 10:30 am to 12 pm UK time, where participants join our Ifta’ students in live fatwa-writing classes.
Practical Research Work: Participants will be assigned research questions in advance, which they will present in class.
Detailed Feedback: Mufti Abdur-Rahman Mangera and Mufti Zubair Patel will critically assess participants’ answers for accuracy, contextualisation, relevance, language, grammar, and more.
Skill Enhancement: The programme focuses on improving participants’ research and writing abilities, building their confidence, and equipping them to contribute effectively to the scholarly community.
Note: This is not a certified Ifta’ program whereby students will be considered Ifta’ graduates of Whitethread Institute.
