Usul al-Ifta wa Adabuhu (Arabic: أصول الإفتاء وآدابه) is a guide to the principles and etiquette of issuing fatwas in Islamic law, authored by Taqi Usmani, a Pakistani scholar and former judge of the Federal Shariat Court and the Supreme Court of Pakistan. The book is considered one of the primary textbooks for advanced Fiqh students and is widely used in Islamic seminaries.[1] It covers various aspects of fatwa, including its definition, types, and conditions for issuance, as well as providing guidelines for those seeking fatwas and the role of the mufti in the process.
