Fatwa
(redirected from fatwas)

   Also found in: Dictionary/thesaurus, Encyclopedia 0.01 sec.
Fatwa
An opinion on Islamic law made by a scholar regarded as having authority. For example, a fatwa may state that a new financial vehicle complies with the sharia and that Muslims may invest in it. A fatwa may not be universally accepted, and scholars have deep disagreements as to what Islamic finance products are indeed Islamic.
