Darulifta-Deoband.com is a bilingual (Urdu and English) fatwa website maintained by the Online Fatwa Department of Darul Uloom Deoband. As of 2016, it is the world's largest bilingual fatwa website.[1] About 15,000 fatwas are sought in Darul Uloom Deoband every year, of which 6 to 7 thousand are online.[2] In January 2022, India's National Commission for Protection of Child Rights recommended the government to shut down the website, citing its content as violating the country's laws.[3]
