Trusted Guidance for Islamic Divorce in the UK

Divorce is one of the most sensitive and significant decisions in a person’s life.

Understanding Islamic Divorce in the UK

The Need for Faith-Based Support

Divorce is not just a legal matter; it’s also a deeply spiritual and emotional process. For Muslims, it is essential that their marital dissolution is not only legally recognized under UK law but also valid according to Islamic principles.

Fatwa Commission provides clear, compassionate guidance to ensure that individuals understand their rights and responsibilities during Islamic divorce in the UK, helping them make informed decisions in line with their faith.

The Dual Process: Civil and Islamic Divorce

In the UK, a civil divorce granted by the court does not automatically constitute an Islamic divorce. Similarly, an Islamic talaq (divorce declaration) without legal proceedings does not end the marriage in the eyes of British law. Therefore, Muslims must follow both processes:

• Civil Divorce: Handled through the UK family court system.

• Islamic Divorce: Conducted in accordance with Sharia principles, often facilitated by a recognized Islamic body like Fatwa Commission.
