About
Al Qalam Shariah Scholar Panel seeks to provide British Imams and Muslims with authentic referenced expertise on how to properly apply shariah precepts to common place legal and financial concerns. Whilst the majority of our work focuses around Charity (Zakah) and Wills (Wassiya), we also provide guidance on Trusts, Pensions, Child Trust Funds, Divorce Settlements, Investments, Contracts and other such financial & legal matters.
Our panel has been set up on a charitable footing, and consists of six British scholars. Consequently we are able to advise Imams, and other grass root community based organizations and individuals on a pro bono basis.
For corporate bodies, we offer chargeable advisory and training services on a ‘not for profit’ basis. All profits thereby generated are used to either meet the running costs of the panel, or donated to charity.
As part of our service to Imams and Mosques, we frequently hold regional day long training programmes for Imams, which seek to equip scholars with the requisite information required to better answer questions themselves on the afore mentioned topics.
All pro bono services are offered in partnership with the 1st Ethical Charitable Trust.
All chargeable services are offered via Shariah Consultancy Services Limited which is licensed to provide services on behalf of the Al Qalam Shariah Panel.
