Becoming a Mufti
Question
I wanted to know how one can become a mufti in islam? Can a mufti issue fatwa of his own? Is he only allowed to issue fatwa by refferring to Hadith and Qur'an?
Answer
These are all sciences that have to be acquired from people that have specialised in these fields. Once you become a mufti you will understand this. All their fatawa are based on the Qur'aan and hadeeth.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.

Fatawa SA is an independent, read-only index of fatawa already published by Mufti Online — Madrasah Ta'leemuddeen. It is not a fatwa service. For your own situation, ask the issuing Darul Ifta directly.
