Egypt's Dar al-Ifta, Religious advisory institution in Cairo, Egypt.
The Dar al-Ifta functions as Egypt's central religious authority, providing Islamic legal opinions and guidance through formal religious verdicts called fatwas.
Established in 1895 under Khedive Abbas Helmi, the institution began as a division of the Egyptian Ministry of Justice to address religious and legal matters.
The organization maintains a substantial collection of religious texts and interpretations, contributing to Islamic scholarship through research and educational programs.
Muslims can submit questions through online platforms and receive personal religious guidance from qualified scholars within the institution.
The institution processes between 500 and 1000 religious verdicts annually, addressing contemporary issues while maintaining traditional Islamic principles.
