Fiqh — Practical Islamic Rulings for Daily Life
This course covers the rulings a Muslim uses every day: how to purify, how to pray correctly, what breaks a fast, and what to do in the situations people actually ask about — travel, illness, work schedules and missed prayers.
Who it is for
Children from age 7, adults, and new Muslims who want to worship correctly and confidently.
How long it takes
Taharah and Salah take about 8 weeks at one class a week. The full syllabus including fasting and zakat takes 4 to 6 months.

Practical, not theoretical
Lessons are built around situations students meet: prayer times during a school day, wudu at work, fasting while at university, and travelling between time zones. Where scholars differ, the teacher explains the main positions plainly rather than presenting one view as the only one.
How progress is measured
- Practical demonstration: the student performs wudu and prayer for the teacher
- Scenario questions ("you are at work and cannot find water — what do you do?")
- Monthly report on modules completed and practical accuracy
- End-of-course assessment and certificate

Common questions
Which school of thought is taught?
Teaching follows the Quran and authentic Sunnah, and where scholars differ the teacher explains the main positions. Tell us your family’s madhhab and we will match you with a teacher accordingly.
Can a new Muslim start here?
Yes, and most do. Taharah and Salah are the most useful first modules.
Can I learn Fiqh online as a complete beginner?
Yes, and most students here are. The course begins with taharah and salah because those are what a person needs daily, not with legal theory. No Arabic is needed to start.
Which madhhab do your online Fiqh classes follow?
Teachers teach within the Hanafi school by default and will say clearly when another school holds a different position. If you follow a different madhhab, say so when you enrol and we will match you with a teacher accordingly.
Do you cover practical questions about living as a Muslim in the West?
Yes, and that is most of what adult students ask about: prayer while at work, combining prayers when travelling, wudu with a cast or make-up, food and ingredients, and money questions like a mortgage or a workplace pension. The teacher answers from the ruling and explains the reasoning.
Is an online Fiqh class suitable for children?
Yes, with a different emphasis. Children learn wudu, prayer and fasting as things they can do correctly today, rather than the evidences behind them. The Islamic studies course covers the same ground for younger children in a lighter form.
