Muftiships Web Archive. Archived since June 2020. (Ivy Plus Libraries Confederation). “The Muftiships Web Archive preserves the websites — which may include videos, images, and PDF files — of Muftis and leading jurists from the Islamic world. These websites cover the responses of leading judicial authorities to current events in their respective countries (and in some cases well beyond). In addition to the content, the websites illustrate the manner in which these authorities engage with their public, and the ways in which Islamic law is administered in the digital age. In light of the Coronavirus pandemic in the Middle East and the Islamic world, these websites gained greater visibility.”
