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. 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.^[2]

Services[edit]

It has issued statements on aspects of Islamic religious observance such as medical treatment during the Ramadan fast,^[3] and on sex education,^[3] mixed-sex education^[1] and organ donation.^[4] It has issued a number of published works, including an Urdu translation of the Encyclopedia of Islamic Jurisprudence.^[5]^: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".^[5]^:103

Membership[edit]

The membership includes a large number of young graduates (Fazils) from madrasas including Darul Uloom Deoband, Darul Uloom Nadwatul Ulama and Firangi Mahal in Lucknow.^[3] 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.
