About the National Sharia Council

Welcome to the National Sharia Council (NSC) online platform. The NSC was formed to solve the matrimonial problems of Muslims living in the United Kingdom in the light of Islamic family law. The NSC comprises members from all of the major schools of Islamic legal thought (mad’hab) and is widely accepted as an authoritative body with regards to Islamic law.

We primarily provide services to the Muslim community in Great Britain. The NSC receives many enquiries regarding social, family and matrimonial issues and gives Islamic opinion and guidelines on the basis of discussions and consultations made in this respect at its meetings.

We have various Ulema, Imams, Muslim Scholars, and Barristers on the Council representing various schools of Fiqh in Great Britain.

The NSC is also approached by institutions, organisations and individuals from diverse spectrum of ethnicity and faiths seeking expert opinions in accordance to Islamic Law on social, theological, cultural, political and academic issues.

The NSC receives enquiries which are answered in accordance to the Sharia. The NSC also helps the community by offering its services of raising awareness and mediating in marital disputes.
