Takhaṣṣuṣ fī al-Iftāʾ

Takhaṣṣuṣ fī al-Iftāʾ, commonly known as the Iftāʾ Course, is a rigorous multi-year specialization for graduates of the ʿĀlim program who wish to master the methodology of issuing Islamic legal rulings. Students train directly under the senior Muftīs of Darul Iftaa New York, moving from theoretical study into supervised, real-world fatwā research.

The program is one of the most demanding offered by Darul Uloom New York. Graduates emerge equipped to serve as Muftīs themselves — researching questions from the primary sources, weighing juristic opinions, and communicating rulings clearly to the people who ask them.

Eligibility

Admission is open exclusively to graduates of the ʿĀlim Course (or an equivalent recognized Dars-e-Nizami program), who are then evaluated through interview and assessment before acceptance.
