Dar al-Ifta addresses mental health myths
The Egyptian Dar al-Ifta has decided to hold a workshop in collaboration with the "Faham" Foundation for Psychological Support to enhance understanding of psychological abilities and their impact on individuals' behavior. The goal is to improve the way human and social fatawa are issued. It was confirmed that Islamic scholars issuing fatawa need to have a precise understanding of the psychological and social circumstances of those seeking answers, emphasizing the importance of working alongside mental health specialists to provide guidance that takes these conditions into account. A psychiatry professor clarified that distinguishing between different mental disorders is essential, as an individual's ability to make decisions is linked to their mental state, thereby increasing the effectiveness of the fatawa and their responsiveness to human circumstances.
