Egypt's Dar al-Ifta (Arabic: دار الإفتاء المصرية Dār al-Iftā' al-Miṣriyyah) is an Egyptian Islamic advisory, justiciary and governmental body^[1] established as a centre for Islam and Islamic legal research in Egypt in 1313 AH / 1895 CE. It offers Muslims religious guidance and advice through the issuing of fatwas on everyday and contemporary issues.^{[citation needed]}

Dār al-Iftā' draws upon the Qur’an, hadith, and precedents of Islamic jurists throughout history to deliver fatwas on topics relevant to contemporary Muslims. Its fatwas are influential among Sunni Muslims in Egypt and across the world.^[2]
