Al-fatwaa
The meaning of Al-Fatwaa:
Al-Fatwaa linguistically: It is from the verb ‘ ‘with the meaning of Aftii with the meaning of Abaan (to make plain/evident). Al-Futyaa and Al-Fatwaa have the same single meaning and the Masdar (infinitive or verbal noun) is Al-Iftaa’u.
Al-Fatwaa in its Shar’a meaning:
It is what the Mufti (i.e. the Faqeeh) makes clear or explains in respect to a Hukm Shar’iy for the reality that is being enquired or asked about.
Allah (swt) said:
They ask your legal instruction concerning women, say: Allah instructs you about them (An-Nisaa’ 127).
The Noble Aayah means that Allah will explain or make clear the Ahkaam Ash-Shar’iyah related to the women.
