Who this is for

Choose one published Fatwa tier: £150, £350, £700, £1,000 or £1,300.
Payment is the fee for the tier you select. It does not guarantee that a Fatwa will be issued.
If you want the Council to assign the tier, use the separate £50 Consultation Initial Assessment instead.

The £50 assessment is not deducted from a Fatwa tier fee. A consultation does not automatically become a Fatwa.

Consultation Initial Assessment and Fatwa Tiers

Consultation Initial Assessment — £50

Start with the £50 Consultation Initial Assessment for any initial consultancy, including Khulu’, Faskh, marital advice or general questions. The Council reviews your question, circumstances and any supporting information, then advises on the suitable next step. Where your question needs formal scholarly review, it may recommend a published Fatwa tier; you can also apply for a published tier directly. The assessment is not itself a Fatwa.

The £50 Consultation Initial Assessment is a separate professional service and is not deducted from any later fee, including a Fatwa tier fee.

Tiers increase with complexity, evidence, research, scholarly consideration, urgency and the number of issues involved. Delivery periods begin after the required information and the relevant Fatwa fee have been received. A timeframe may be adjusted where further evidence, specialist input or clarification is required. Genuinely exceptional matters may still be quoted separately; the standard system recognises all five Fatwa tiers above.
