Introduction of the Conference
Two days international gathering of academicians, practitioners, scholars and experts to discuss and share their knowledge, expertise and experience on the issues related to Fatwa in Muslim and Non-Muslim societies. This 2-day conference will explore the key issues and the problematic of the practice of Fatwa ,its dimensions, jurisdiction and its interaction with the existent legal system on Muslim as well as non-Muslim societies. We believe this conference will be an excellent platform to study this subject which is gaining increased attention among the scholars of Islamic Law, especially from the perspective of alternate legal systems as well as legal pluralism. It is hoped that this conference will provide an effective platform for networking and exchange of experience, ideas and outlooks about the Fatwa.
