Fatawa 'Alamgiri, also known as Al-Fatawa al-'Alamgiriyya (Arabic: الفتاوى العالمكيرية) or Al-Fatawa al-Hindiyya (Arabic: الفتاوى الهندية), is a 17th-century sharia based compilation on statecraft, general ethics, military strategy, economic policy, justice and punishment, that served as the law and principal regulating body of the Mughal Empire, during the reign of the Mughal emperor Muhammad Muhiuddin Aurangzeb Alamgir.[1] It subsequently went on to become the reference legal text to enforce sharia in colonial South Asia in the 18th century through early 20th century,[2] and has been heralded as "the greatest digest of Muslim law during the Mughal India".[3][4]
