Ongoing scholarship led by Shaykh Akram Nadwi — from archival research and new publications to independent legal theses.
The work of Shaykh Akram Nadwi consists of decades of teaching, research and scholarship. From books and monographs to articles, thought-pieces and fatawa, the scholarship of Shaykh Akram Nadwi is prolific and ongoing. However, these works are scattered across various platforms and mediums, making access difficult. The Akram Nadwi Research Project proposes the initial development of a coherent set of record(s), archive(s), platform(s) and dissemination processes for Shaykh Akram's previous and current scholarship. We then intend to initiate new research conducted by Shaykh Akram Nadwi. Finally, further research in to the scholarship of Shaykh Akram Nadwi by other researchers can be facilitated through the continuation of this project.
The ASI Fatwa Project publishes eligible long-form fatawa on areas of special interest. Research is conducted by our graduated Mufti's (under the supervision of Mufti Barakatulla/Shaykh Akram Nadwi) and/or affiliated researchers. Each article stands alone as an independent thesis investigating questions that pertain Islamic law and legal theory as applied in our current context. For non-scholarly readers it is important to note that these fatawa are non-binding legal advices, not absolute verdicts, and as such these same topics may be subject to varying conclusions by different scholars in different times, places and spaces.
