Darulfatwa - Islamic High Council of Australia

Darulfatwa - Islamic High Council of Australia is a high Islamic authority in Australia. It has been founded to meet the growing needs of the Australian Muslim community. After long and profound deliberations, a group of highly skilled and qualified community leaders embarked upon establishing this Australian institution. A final frontier to bridge the gap between the needs of Muslims and their productive co-existence in the wider Australian community. [2][3]

It can be significantly noted that the policies and guidelines of Darul-Fatwa have all been derived from the Qur’an, the sayings of Prophet Muhammad may Allah raise his rank and the teachings of Islam according to true undisputed scholars.[2][3]


Darulfatwa does not endorse any form of extremist ideology and it opposes any potential spreading of such ideology within its constituency. Darulfatwa makes the point that all acts of evil carried out in the name of Islam should be condemned and countered by all available means.[2][3]


Darulfatwa (also known as Darul-Fatwa or House of Fatwa) provides Fatwas[4] and is associated with a number of Australian Islamic organisations and Muslim schools.[5] including the colocated Salamah College and radio station 2MFM.

In 2005, Prime Minister John Howard commended the Darulfatwa - Islamic High Council of Australia for organising an anti-terrorism forum, "Sunnis against Extremism", which was attended by 200 members of the Islamic community.[6] It has also been congratulated within the New South Wales Legislative Assembly for its role as the leading representative for Muslims in Australia.[7]
