The Prophet (God bless him and give him peace) said,
“The cure for confusion is asking†[Abu Dawud, 336; Ibn Maja, 572; Ahmad, 3057; a sound hadith].
The focal point of traditional Muslim communities has always been the local religious scholar who directed them to God and taught them how to live. Such communities are now numbered and scholars firmly grounded in Islamic knowledge are rare, but the need of religiously concerned Muslims to have easy access to reliable scholarship has only increased. SunniPath meets this need for daily guidance through its email Question & Answer service.
Questions are submitted through our website and the questioner receives a personal email response. When the answers are of public benefit, they are also posted on the SunniPath mailing lists after omitting the name and contact information of the questioner. Although most answers are about rulings related to personal worship and interpersonal dealings, we also give general advice on the problems of life, clarify the meanings of Qur’anic verses and prophetic hadiths, and remove faith-related doubts through rational reasoning.
All our teachers only answer questions after being authorized by leading scholars in the Muslim heartlands. They are circumspect and their answers are taken from the relied-upon books of one of the four Sunni schools of law. For contemporary issues, they consult living scholars. Most of our teachers have been raised in the West and are sensitive to the needs of Muslims living in the modern world.
Our question-answer service is free, and handles several hundred questions a week. Answers posted on the mailing lists are categorized by topic and can be browsed or searched through our website.
