Guidance, mediation and judgement for Muslim families
Whether you need advice you can trust, a ruling on your situation, or formal certification — every case is heard in confidence by qualified scholars.
When family life is under strain
Support for the matters people find hardest to talk about — a marriage in difficulty, a separation, or raising children with confidence.
When you need a decision, not just advice
Where a matter calls for it, the Council does not simply advise — it rules, and issues the documentation that follows.
A clear process, from first contact to outcome
Tell us what has happened
Apply online with a brief summary of your situation. Nothing is shared with anyone else.
We confirm your appointment
If we take the case on, we call you to agree a time that suits — online or, where warranted, in person.
Speak with a scholar
A private session of up to an hour, where a qualified scholar hears your circumstances in full.
Receive clear guidance
You leave knowing where you stand and, where the matter requires it, with formal documentation in hand.
If you cannot afford the fees
Islamic Council runs on a non-profit basis, and fees are set only to cover the work. If they are beyond your means, apply to our hardship fund — every application is assessed on its own circumstances.
Finance, wills & inheritance
Zakah, investments, business matters, wills and inheritance disputes are handled by Islamic Finance Advisory. Visit ifadvisory.org →
