Islamic Fiqh Academy (IFA) of India is a Deobandi fiqh organization.[1] It was established in 1988 in New Delhi under the guidance of Mujahidul Islam Qasmi. The primary objective of the academy is to address contemporary issues and challenges faced by Muslims in light of the principles and methodology of Islamic jurisprudence, as derived from the Quran, Sunnah (teachings and practices of Muhammad), and the interpretations of classical jurists and scholars. The IFA aims to find solutions to problems arising from social, political, economic, industrial, and technological developments through collective efforts and research. It organizes seminars, symposiums, and conferences, and prepares literature to address new issues and challenges faced by Muslims in the modern world. The academy focuses on promoting the principles of fiqh and Islamic ethics, while also fostering dialogue and cooperation with other academic and fiqh institutions worldwide.
The IFA has gained recognition both within India and internationally. It has established collaborative relationships with research organizations, educational centers, and departments of Law and Islamic studies at various universities, particularly in the Arab world. The academy also maintains strong ties with other renowned fiqh academies globally, aiming to efficiently identify and analyze problems faced by Muslim communities and find appropriate solutions.
