Islamic scholars
Interpreters of Quran
Islamic scholars are experts in Islamic theology, law, and religious texts.
The term typically refers to ulama—those trained in interpreting the Quran, hadith, and sharia.
Islamic scholars issue fatwas (religious rulings) and guide Muslim communities on matters of faith and practice: Islamic scholars disagree about whether the practice is permitted.
The phrase often appears in news coverage seeking authoritative Muslim perspectives.
