UK-based Islamic guidance, rooted in recognised scholarship and supported by scholars connected to Saudi Arabia.

This service was established to provide Muslims in London and across the UK with a faster remote Islamic divorce guidance service, especially where delays through local Islamic councils may be causing difficulty, uncertainty, or hardship.

We provide Islamic guidance and scholarly opinions on matters relating to marriage, Khula, Islamic divorce, marital disputes, reconciliation, and family-related concerns. Each matter is reviewed in light of the Qur’an and Sunnah, with access to qualified scholarly input from Saudi Arabia and Oman where appropriate.

The service is led in the UK by Shaykh Ibn Ismail, who has over 15 years of experience supporting individuals and families across the United Kingdom with Islamic guidance, family matters, mediation, reconciliation, and community support.

Shaykh Ibn Ismail has undertaken Islamic studies in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, including studies connected to Qur’an, Sunnah, Fiqh, Islamic family matters, and the principles relevant to marriage, Khula, and Islamic divorce. His studies included time at King Saud University and Imam Muhammad ibn Saud Islamic University. He has also received certifications in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia.

Through his Islamic studies, practical experience, and scholarly connections, Shaykh Ibn Ismail provides Islamic guidance and religious opinions on marriage and divorce-related matters through this UK-based service. Where appropriate, complex matters may also be reviewed or discussed with qualified scholars connected to Saudi Arabia and Oman before guidance is issued.

Our aim is to offer a clear, confidential, and efficient service while encouraging fairness, understanding, and reconciliation wherever possible. We understand that family matters can be sensitive and difficult, and we seek to provide guidance that is balanced, compassionate, and rooted in recognised Islamic scholarship.

Please note that this service provides Islamic guidance and religious opinions only. It is not a UK court of law, tribunal, solicitor’s firm, arbitration body, or government authority. It does not provide UK legal advice and does not issue legally binding judgments under UK civil law.

Any Islamic guidance, opinion, or certificate issued relates to Islamic matters only. It does not replace UK legal advice, civil divorce proceedings, court orders, financial remedy applications, child arrangements, immigration advice, safeguarding processes, or any other legal process. If your marriage is legally recognised in the UK, you will still need to follow the UK civil divorce process separately.

This service is independent and does not claim to act on behalf of any UK court, government body, Saudi authority, Omani authority, university, embassy, or official overseas institution.

All consultations are conducted remotely, and enquiries should be made via WhatsApp only using the contact number provided.

If there is any risk of harm, domestic abuse, coercion, or immediate danger, please contact the police, emergency services, or a qualified support organisation.

We pray that Allah makes this service beneficial for the Muslim community and a source of clarity, guidance, and support for those seeking assistance.
