Islamic Fiqh Academy, India (IFA) is a Fiqh (Islamic law) institute in New Delhi, established in 1988. It was registered as a charitable trust in 1990. Maulana Qazi Mujahidul Islam Qasmi was its founder and secretary general until his death.[1] The academy is a registered NGO working as a research-oriented organization since then.

Services

It has issued statements on aspects of Islamic religious observance such as medical treatment during the Ramadan fast,[2] and on sex education[2], mixed-sex education[1] and organ donation.[3] It has issued a number of published works, including an Urdu translation of the Encyclopedia of Islamic Jurisprudence.[4]^:101–2 The Academy has been described as "the most recent and, in many ways, the most sophisticated articulation so far of claims to institutionalized Islamic authority in India".[4]^:103

Membership

The membership includes a large number of young graduates (Fazils) from madrasas including Darul Uloom Deoband, Nadwatul Ulama and Firangi Mahal in Lucknow.[2] The academy coordinates with other academic and Fiqh institutions in the Middle East and in countries and areas with a significant Muslim minority population, such as the USA and Europe.
