Mawqi al-Islam Su'al wa Jawab (Islam: Question and Answer) is an Islamic da'wah, educational, and legal reference website supervised by the Islamic author and lecturer Muhammad Salih al-Munajjid . It provides referenced legal rulings (fatwas) and scholarly responses to inquiries submitted by Muslims and non-Muslims .
Purpose and Objectives
The website receives questions across diverse subjects, including Islamic creed (aqidah), worship (ibadah), transactions (mu'amalat), and psychological and social issues . Its outlined objectives are:
- Propagating Islam and calling people to it .
- Spreading Islamic legal knowledge (al-ilm al-shar'i) and dispelling religious ignorance among Muslims .
- Meeting the public's religious needs by providing grounded Islamic legal rulings .
- Advising on daily affairs through scientific, educational, and social consultations .
Structure and Methodology
The website organizes its content into a searchable topical database, allowing users to look up existing questions and answers by topic or keywords before submitting new inquiries .
An archival edition of the Arabic section of the website completed on 26 Dhu al-Qi'dah 1430 AH (15 November 2009 CE) comprised two primary divisions: a fatwa archive containing 15,862 entries, and a section of articles and books . Other features on the site, such as thematic files and introductory guides to Islam, consisted of selected excerpts drawn from the central fatwa archive .
In deriving answers, the platform relies on scriptural evidence from the Quran and the Sunnah, citing classical authorities such as Ibn Taymiyyah and Ibn al-Qayyim, alongside legal determinations from contemporary scholars including Muhammad ibn Salih al-Uthaymin and Abd Allah ibn Jibreen .
