What is fatwa?
A fatwa is a legal decision in the point of Islamic law or Sharia published by a qualified Islamic lawyer in response to a question asked by a private individual, a judge or the government. The lawyer who publishes Fetwas is called “mufti” and the act of Fatwas extraction is called “IFTA”. It is originally in the Qur’an. He began with the text of the Qur’an, which instructed the Prophet Muhammad to answer questions about religious and social practices.
How did Fatwa begin?
According to the Islamic doctrine, God stopped communicating with humanity through revelation and prophets after the death of the Prophet Muhammad in 632. When Muslims approached Muhammad’s religious guidance comrades, some issued symptoms on a wide variety of issues. Muhammad’s comrades were later replaced with the best clergy and the concept of Fatwa was developed under a question and answer format. To convey religious information to the masses. Later, it took its definite form with the development of classical Islamic law theory.
Is it necessary for Muslims to apply fatwa?
A fatwa is not binding, and Muslims do not have to act accordingly unless a government judge is given in an Islamic state. However, the court decision may be binding and applicable. Although the authority of a Fatwa is valid for a certain court case, a fatwa has extensive consequences, while a fatwa is applied for all cases that are appropriate to the buildings of the interrogation.

Fatwa in Shiite Islam
Fatwa in Shiite Islam took a different path from Sunni Islam. Independent Islamic lawyers or “mujtahids” claimed the authority to represent the secret Imam during the Safavid administration in Iran. According to the Shiite doctrine, every Muslim should choose and follow a high-ranking mujtahid bearing the title of “Marja al-Taqlid”, which is considered as binding of fatwas in contrast to the fatwas in Sunni Islam.
