Alhamdulillah, we have agreed on our 14th resolution and are currently writing the draft for it. InshaAllah, it will be released in the coming weeks. Stay tuned!
MashaAllah, I am really proud of the tireless effort of a small group of ulama to research and write this well-referenced paper in one week!
May Allah Ta'ālā reward them and accept it from them. Āmīn.
The American Fiqh Academy has published its position on the topic of giving zakat to politicians. It includes the signatures of 50+ ulama members, Alhamdulillah.

We have sent a call for papers to our members for our 14th resolution topic, Alhamdulillah. May Allah guide the researching Ulama to what is correct and pleasing to Him.

Caution to those who use ChatGPT and AI to get rulings:
I have found errors in several masā'il, despite it providing references from classical works.
Ask ulama. They take the accountability of the answer. AI is not mukallaf and will not shoulder your burden.

I know the @FiqhAcademy resolutions have an international audience, and the Arabic and Urdu translations make them easier to consume by audiences here in the US as well as other parts of the world.
May Allah Ta'ālā continue to take great work from them and their Ulama. Āmīn.
On behalf of the American Fiqh Academy, Eid Mubarak!
This Eid, we have launched a revamped website with Arabic translations for all resolutions, as well as Urdu translations for most.
We request your duas as we get ready to start on our next resolution.
تقبل الله منا ومنكم

My dear wife Melanie (Maariyah) Torres just passed away in this blessed month of Ramadhan. She went through a very difficult life and I sincerely pray that Allah has mercy on her. Request for duas
This latest fatwa from Darul Iftaa Chicago covers the issue of ikhtilāt (gender interaction) in detail & lays the framework for tafsīq (declaring someone an open sinner). It is an interesting read for Ulama on the interplay between murū'a, 'adāla, & fisq.

Building off the resolution on alimony, the American Fiqh Academy has published its latest resolution on child custody and support. May Allah Ta'ala accept. Āmīn.

محترم مفتی صاحب،
یہ بہت ہی خوش آئند اقدام ہے۔
اللہ تعالی خوب توفیق و قبولیت سے نوازے۔
آمین۔
Darul Iftaa Chicago was requested a few months ago to write research papers for the Indian Fiqh Academy seminar. A few of our graduates wrote on several topics on behalf of the Darul Iftaa, including on AI and declaring someone an open sinner (fāsiq).
May Allah Ta'ala accept.

Alhamdulillah, we are advancing toward the final stages of our current resolution, which has been a long journey in part due to the highly consequential and sensitive nature of the topic.
InshaAllah, the resolution is expected in a few weeks.
This is a common question from many Muslim cat owners given that there are no halal cat food brands in the US (and many other places).
Read when commercial cat food containing meat could be permissible:
