Islamic Mashwara
RAHNUMA
رہنما
Ask in confidence. Answered by qualified muftis.
A quiet start in December 2026. Open to everyone from January 2027.
فَاسْأَلُوا أَهْلَ الذِّكْرِ إِن كُنتُمْ لَا تَعْلَمُونَ
“So ask the people of knowledge, if you do not know.”
Why it exists
Millions of Pakistanis live abroad. When a question of faith touches daily life, many have no trusted mufti nearby who speaks their language and understands their family — and many will not ask in public. RAHNUMA, which means “guide”, is for them, and for anyone here who has nobody to ask.
How it will work
Four steps, and your name never travels with the question
- 1
You send your question
Privately, in Urdu or English. Nobody else sees it.
- 2
The Foundation checks it
We make sure it is clear, and we remove who you are.
- 3
A mufti answers it
Qualified muftis of our Shariah advisory partners write a signed, written Shariah answer.
- 4
The answer comes back to you
In Urdu or English. It costs nothing.
Our promises
What you can count on
It is free
Always, for everyone. An answer never depends on giving anything.
The mufti never sees who asked
Your name does not reach the person answering.
A real scholar writes it
Every answer is written and signed by a qualified mufti. No answer is ever written by a machine.
Your question is a trust
ہر سوال ایک امانت. We never publish, quote or pass on anyone’s question.
It is not kept on this website
Questions and answers are held on the Foundation’s own secure system, not here.
Funded by Sadaqah, never Zakat
The Foundation keeps Zakat for those eligible to receive it.
The kinds of things families ask
- Zakat on savings held abroad
- Marriage
- Inheritance
- Halal work and finance
- Raising children
No question is too small, and none is ever repeated to anyone else.
