Get to know more about us
Islamic Shari’ah Council in Scotland (ISCS) was a response to the growing demand for guidance on matters related to Islamic law in Scotland. As an increasing number of Muslims have made Scotland their home, there has been a need for an authoritative body to provide advice on religious issues and help Muslims navigate their daily lives in accordance with the principles of Shari’ah.
Its main role is to help individuals or families facing personal issues or disputes that require guidance in accordance with the principles of Islamic law

The Council receives enquiries which are inadvertently answered in accordance with the Shari’ah. Some of the queries are referred to the Council from other European countries where no such Islamic Council is available to help the Muslim Community. The Council also helps the community by offering its services of Mediation and Arbitration in their disputes.
