Askimam is a website providing information regarding Islam. It was founded by South African Islamic scholar and jurist Ebrahim Desai in 2000. The answers on this website are reflections of the juristic views of the Hanafi Deobandi school of thought. It has been called more influential, wide-ranging and comprehensive than the web resources of Al-Azhar University and its sympathisers put together.
