Shariah Council of America
Shariah Council of America is a council of independent jurists. Scholars do not limit the fatwas to any particular school of thought or sect in Islam. SCA carefully issues rulings based on the Quran and the traditions of the Prophet ﷺ and early scholars of Islam.
While some councils unite to issue opinions restricted to one madhhab, SCA remains open to all. As time progresses and modern issues arise, academically qualified scholars address these matters with deep research and understanding.
Moreover, Shariah Council of America ensures that all declarations rely solely on the Quran and the authentic Sunnah of the Prophet ﷺ. No rulings contradict the original Islamic sources, as scholars base their opinions on thorough research from both early and later scholarly works.
Additionally, it is not limited to council in a single matter. There are a wide range of fields that we support. It includes Islamic Marriage, Talaq, Khula, Family Court Advocate, Magic, Ruqyah, Psychological Mental Illness, Muslim Family Counseling, Sexual and Marital Private Counseling, etc.
