Difference between a Mufti and a Faqeeh
Question
What are the main differences between a "Mufti" and a "Faqeeh"? May Allah bless you all for your services.
Answer
Generally a mufti is trained to issue verdicts in deen. A faqeeh is one who has a sound understanding of deen.
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.
