Consultation Initial Assessment — £50

Pay the £50 Consultation Initial Assessment after this form. The Council reviews your question, circumstances and any information you provide, then advises on the suitable next step. Where your question needs formal scholarly review, it may recommend a published Fatwa tier and only then invite that fee. The £50 is a separate professional service and is not deducted from any later fee.

I confirm that the information provided is accurate to the best of my knowledge. I have read the Privacy and Confidentiality Notice and consent to these details being used for this application. I understand that the £50 payment is for the Consultation Initial Assessment, a separate professional service that is not deducted from any later fee. I understand that the assessment is not itself a Fatwa, that further information may be requested, and that ISCN will advise on the appropriate next step, which may include a Fatwa tier. I understand that any further service, including a Fatwa tier if one is recommended, begins only after I have agreed it and paid any fee that applies, and that the Council may conclude that another ISCN service is more appropriate. I would like to receive occasional ISCN educational updates. This is optional and is not required for the service.
